The news follows the positive test of midfielder Thiago, who is already self-isolating.
In a statement on their website, Liverpool said Mane had "displayed minor symptoms of the virus but feels in good health overall".
"However, like with Thiago Alcantara, Liverpool Football Club are - and will continue to - follow all protocols relating to COVID-19 and Mane will self-isolate for the required period of time," the club said.
Mane, who scored in Monday's Premier League win over Arsenal, will therefore miss the weekend trip to Aston Villa.
