According to a statement released by the presidency, the vice-president tested positive on Tuesday following a positive result of her daughter with whom she stays with.
President Edgar Lungu has wished the vice-president a quick recovery.
According to the statement, a team of health officials visited the vice-president who underwent a comprehensive medical assessment.
The team recommended that she should be managed under home isolation with intensive and clinical nursing monitoring, it added.
It was gathered that the woman was rescued three days after her assailant escaped with her six-month-old baby.
The victim, Mrs. Chizoba Eke, was reportedly found with injuries in the septic tank of an uncompleted building by sympathisers.
The suspect was said to have been arrested when he attempted trafficking the baby through Omerelu, a border community between Rivers and Imo State.
It was learnt that the nursing mother was kidnapped from her home with her baby on August 17 and forced into the septic tank.
The husband of the victim said: “I was invited by the police to come identify our baby, having lodged complaint when both my wife and baby got missing. The suspect is known to me as Mr. Chinedu. He had attempted raping my wife when she was pregnant.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer Nnamdi Omoni, confirmed the incident, said the rescued woman was undergoing treatment at an undisclosed facility.
A community source, who craved anonymity for fear of attack by the hoodlums, said the two groups suspected to be those of militant and kidnap gangs engaged in a shootout at about 7:45 pm on Wednesday.
The source said during the gun duel, seven residents were allegedly killed by stray bullets from the hoodlums’ guns while the whereabouts of other victims have yet to be known.
He said the community members were still searching for the missing persons within the community as of Thursday morning.
The police authorities in the state confirmed the clash that resulted in indiscriminate gunshots in the community for hours.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Bayelsa State Command, SP Asinim Butswat, in a statement on Thursday, said the police and other sister security agencies were making concerted efforts to identify the militant groups.
He also said that investigation was on to ascertain if there were casualties, adding that further information would be made available at the end of the investigation.
Butswat said: “The Bayelsa State Police Command in synergy with other sister security agencies in the state has commenced investigations into the sporadic gunshots witnessed at Oluasiri, Nembe Local Government Area, Bayelsa State.
“Information at the disposal of the Bayelsa State Police Command revealed that on 19 August, 2020, at about 1945 hours, there were sporadic gunshots witnessed by the residents of Oluasiri community in Nembe LGA. It is believed that the gunshots were as a result of a clash by rival militant groups in the creeks of Oluasiri community.
“The Commissioner of Police, Bayelsa State Command, Mike Okoli, wishes to reassure members of the public that a joint operation by security agencies is ongoing to fish out the perpetrators and ensure the safety of lives of residents of the community and the protection of critical infrastructures.”
Judge Jeremy Baker said Hashem Abedi, who was convicted in March of murder, attempted murder and conspiring to cause explosions, would spend a minimum of 55 years in prison.
Abedi, 23, refused to attend the two-day hearing at the Central Criminal Court in London, which saw emotional statements from families of victims of the May 22, 2017 attack.
Judge Baker said that even though Abedi’s 22-year-old brother Salman carried out the bombing at the Manchester Arena, he was an “integral part” of its preparation.
He condemned the Islamic State group-inspired attack — one of the worst on British soil in which hundreds of people were injured — as “abhorrent” to most followers of Islam.
“The defendant and his brother were equally culpable for the deaths and injuries caused,” he told the court.
“The stark reality is that these were atrocious crimes, large in their scale, deadly in their intent, and appalling in their consequences.
“The despair and desolation of the bereaved families have been palpable,” he added, paying tribute to the “tremendous dignity and courage” of the victims and their families.
The judge said Abedi could not be given a whole-life term — ensuring he would never be released — because he was aged under 21 at the time of the offences.
But he said a whole-life term “would have been a just sentence”.
The more than three years that Abedi has already spent in custody would count towards the sentence until he was eligible for parole.
But he added: “He may never be released.”

The apex Christian body said CAMA “would snuff life out of the church and rank the church as a secular institution under secular control.”
President Muhammadu Buhari on August 7 signed into law, the Companies and Allied Matters Bill 2020.
The bill passed by the National Assembly replaced the 1990 CAMA.
The Christian body described sections 839(1) and (2) as of the law which empowers the supervising Minister “to suspend trustees of an association (in this case, the church) and appoint the interim managers to manage the affairs of the association for some given reasons” as “satanic”.
Adebayo Oladeji, Special Assistant on Media and Communications to CAN President, Rev Samson Ayokunle, in a statement noted the Federal Government has declared war on the church if the law were to stand.
Titled “Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) rejects CAMA Completely,” the statement reads: “The leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria rejects outrightly the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020 that was assented to by President Muhammadu Buhari recently.
“The law, to say the least, is unacceptable, ungodly, reprehensible, and an ill-wind that blows no one any good. It is a time bomb waiting to explode.
“While we are not against the government fighting corruption wherever it may be found, yet we completely reject the idea of bringing the church, which is technically grouped among the NGOs, under control of the government.
“The Church cannot be controlled by the government because of its spiritual responsibilities and obligations.”
The Christian body added: “How can the government sack the trustee of a church which it contributed no dime to establish?
“How can a secular and political minister be the final authority on the affairs and management of another institution which is not political?
“How can a non-Christian head of government ministry be the one to determine the running of the church? It is an invitation to trouble that the government does not have power to manage.”
It advised the government to “face the business of providing infrastructure for the people. Let them focus on better health provision, food, education, adequate security employment, etc.
“The government should not be a busy body in a matter that does not belong to it. The government does not have the technical expertise to run the church of God because of its spiritual nature.
“If the government is bent on imposing a law on us which the entire Church in Nigeria is against, then, they have declared war on Christianity and the agenda to destroy the Church which we have spoken against before now is coming to the open more clearly.
“If you cannot give us good amenities of life, we would not allow you to take away our liberty to worship our Maker.”
CAN called on Buhari to “stop the implementation of the obnoxious and ungodly law until the religious institutions are exempted from it” and “return the law to the National Assembly for immediate amendment.”

The anti-corruption campaigner fell ill during a flight and the plane made an emergency landing in Omsk, Kira Yarmysh said, adding that they suspected something had been mixed into his tea.
A hospital source confirmed Mr Navalny was in a serious condition.
Mr Navalny, 44, is a staunch critic of President Vladimir Putin.
In June he described a vote on constitutional reforms as a "coup" and a "violation of the constitution". The reforms allow Mr Putin to serve another two terms in office.
Kira Yarmysh, the press secretary for the Anti-Corruption Foundation, which Mr Navalny founded in 2011, tweeted: "This morning Navalny was returning to Moscow from Tomsk.
"During the flight, he felt ill. The plane made an urgent landing in Omsk. Alexei has toxic poisoning. Right now we are going to hospital."

Areghan, who spoke during a monitoring exercise to some schools in Yaba, Lagos State, also told students taking WASSCE to shun examination malpractice and rely on their ability.
According to him, the visit was to monitor the exams which commenced on Monday and to ensure that students and teachers complied with Covid-19 safety measures.
“Students should not go about looking for anything they call expo. It is shameful, supervisors collecting question papers from WAEC and going somewhere to open the questions. Yesterday we caught one in Nasarawa. They don’t know that we have a way of detecting them. In Bauchi, we caught another. We detected it from here. In Port Harcout, a candidate did the same thing and was arrested,” said Areghan.

The state Commissioner of Police, Tunde Mobayo, said the lady was “arrested alongside her accomplice, Victor Olawuse, in Akure, the Ondo State capital, where she had gone from Ekiti State to carry out the act.”
The commissioner, who was represented by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Sunday Abutu, during the parade of 18 suspects for various offences at the police headquarters, said Mary’s mother “came to our station and reported that her daughter, Mary Idris, left home on August 9, at about 4pm and never returned.
“She said all efforts to reach her daughter via phone calls proved abortive. After a while, the younger sister of the suspect received a message through her phone that Mary had been kidnapped and demanded ransom to be paid to Access Bank Account number 11233209688.
“The command’s Special Anti-Robbery Squad operatives tracked the phone number that sent the message to Akure, Ondo State, where Mary was arrested alongside her accomplice, Victor Olawuse.”
Mary said, “I arranged the kidnap to get money from my parents because they are not taking proper care of me.”
The police also paraded one Femi Eyinafe for allegedly abducting and having canal knowledge of a 16-year-old girl for three days.
The commissioner said, “During interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crime, and had described how he made the victim drink a locally manufactured bottled beverage already laced with hard drugs, after which she lost consciousness for the three days.”
The AU’s 15-member security council “suspends Mali from the African Union until restoration of constitutional order and demands release of President Boubacar Keita, the Prime Minister and other government officials forcibly detained by the army,” the AU Peace and Security Council said on Twitter.
Keita said Wednesday he had stepped down to avoid “bloodshed” after he was detained in a coup, whose leaders pledged new elections after taking the president and Prime Minister Boubou Cisse into custody.
The 55-member AU had already condemned the “unconstitutional change of government” in the West African nation.
It joined a growing international chorus, including the US and European Union, that demanded the immediate release of the detained leaders.
Mali joins a handful of African nations in recent years to be suspended from the Africa-wide bloc, a move that bars them from all summits and meetings.
Mali’s neighbour Burkina Faso was suspended in 2015 for its own military coup. Sudan was barred last year during a bloody crisis there, while Egypt was suspended in 2013 when the army overthrew the elected president, Mohamed Morsi.

Founder, The Citadel Global Community Church, formerly known as Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare; founder, Day Star, Pastor Sam Adeyemi and some others have refused to open their churches for services after the Lagos State Government lifted the ban on religious centres’ re-opening.
But Oyahilome during a service said ” if you refuse to open church for fear of being infected, you were never a believer.
“This is a great concern because there were churches that were thought to be churches until recently. We find a lot of ministers who were thought to be advocates of the gospel advocating for shutting down the churches. (Because they cannot guarantee safety).
“It is pressure like this that reveals what is a church and what is not. Do they really believe in God, the same God of the patriarchs in the Bible?
“I have laid hands on some of the most infectious people on earth and had no fear of being infected. The Word of God guarantees life in Christ.
“When you get to that point where you are afraid of opening churches for fear of being infected, you have denied the faith. You never believed,” he said.
The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, put the nation’s overall infection at 50,488, with 37,304 recoveries and 985 deaths.
