Madrid haven't given more information about it in their official statement. Zidane was scheduled to speak to the media at 13:00 on Friday, in the pre-match press conference for the Alavés match on Saturday.

"Real Madrid C. F. informs that our coach Zinedine Zidane has tested positive for COVID-19", the statement read.

He will thus have to quarantine at his home and will miss Madrid's matches away to Alavés and at home to Levante.
