Spurs played fellow Premier League side Norwich on Friday, a day before the league announced that there had been two more positive tests for covid-19 from the latest round of testing.
One of the positive tests came from a player who played against Mourinho's side in the behind-closed-doors friendly match.
The player, who has remained unnamed, is now observing a seven day isolation and will miss the Canaries' first match back from the lockdown against Southampton on Friday.
'Close contacts have been defined by the government as being within two metres of a confirmed case for 15 minutes or more,' Tottenham said in a statement released to the BBC.
'The Norwich player in question confirmed he had no 'close contacts' with our team and our squad also verified this.
'Our testing has continued to return only negative results for Covid-19 since one positive reading was confirming almost two weeks ago.'
Tottenham saw defeat in their friendly with relegation-threatened Norwich after two late goals for Daniel Farke's side clinched a 2-1 win.
