Kristen Allen, press secretary to Ms Harris, said she will isolate and continue to work from the Vice President’s residence till full recovery.

“Today, Vice President Harris tested positive for COVID-19 on rapid and PCR tests.

“She has exhibited no symptoms, will isolate and continue to work from the vice president’s residence,” Ms Allen said in a statement.
