Shapovalov has become the latest player to test positive after playing at the Mubadala World Tennis Championships in Abu Dhabi.
Rafael Nadal, Ons Jabeur, Belinda Bencic and Emma Raducanu all tested positive after being in the Middle East and Shapovalov has become the latest player.
"I tested positive for COVID. I am following all protocols including isolation and letting the people who I've been in contact with know," said Shapovalov.
"Right now I am experiencing minor symptoms and look forward to getting back on the court. When it is safe to do so, thank you in advance for you support and wish you all a safe and happy holiday."
