The arsenal site lists it as actual players as well as staff that met the Olympiacos owner.
Some players are self isolating, as well as some staff.
The below is took from the Arsenal link -
Following yesterday’s news that Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis has recently contracted Covid-19, we have been taking medical advice and tracing any individuals who had what the guidelines define as close contact with him at the game 13 days ago.
As a result of this exercise we identified that a number of players met the Olympiacos owner immediately following the game.
The medical advice we have received puts the risk of them developing Covid-19 at extremely low. However, we are strictly following the Government guidelines which recommend that anyone coming into close contact with someone with the virus should self-isolate at home for 14 days from the last time they had contact.
As a result, the players are unavailable for tonight's match against Manchester City and the Premier League has decided the game should be postponed.
The players will remain at their homes until the 14-day period expires. Four Arsenal staff, who were sitting close to Mr Marinakis during the match will also remain at home until the 14 days are complete.

Now cancel the season. End of. I'm at home in self isolation with my wife and daughter who returned from Italy at the weekend. I wasn't going to the game tomorrow nor Saturday, this situation just is not worth anyone's health especially those close to me and my family.
Even with the media and all the surrounding health information, I really do hope what my daughter saw in Italy and what is happening now over there currently does not happen here. Stay safe you all, even if you think it won't affect you someone you know or are related too will eventually come down with it. Keep them and yourself safe

Totally agree Paul, you cannot play games with people's lives.It's the beginning of the end surely. It only takes one of the staff, anyone, who has been in close proximity to any players at any club and they have to postpone their fixtures too.
