A statement on the Scottish Rugby official website said the player had been “admitted to a health facility under the protocol but was otherwise in good health”.
Seven members of management and actors isolate themselves on medical advice.
More than 100,000 people were infected with the coronavirus, which left almost 3,500 people dead.
And in the UK, the disease caused two deaths, with 163 people testing positive.
The Scottish team returned from northern Italy, which is one of the most affected countries with nearly 4,000 people infected, Sunday, February 23, as their match was postponed.
The press release states: “This decision was taken jointly with Scottish Rugby, the French Rugby Federation (FFR) and the Six Nations.
“The CEO of Six Nations is in constant contact with Scottish Rugby and fully supports this decision. The Scottish government has also been informed. “
Scottish Rugby Medical Director Dr. James Robson said: “We are delighted that our player is doing well and that all correct medical procedures have been followed and continue to be followed.
“We are working with the Scottish government to continue to observe and follow the advice of the NHS.”
The statement added: “Scottish Rugby requests that the privacy of the players and management be recognized in these circumstances.
“Scottish Rugby will discuss with Six Nations the rescheduled dates for the matches.”
Scotland reaped a losing bonus point after a loss to Ireland, which preceded a heavy loss at home against England.
