This has prompted the Serie A club to cancel a training session on Saturday after
Pioli had been placed in quarantine after the club's latest round of medical checks at the weekend
According to Goal, the rest of the squad subsequently granted an extra two days off before returning to the training pitch.
A club statement read: "AC Milan announces that Stefano Pioli has tested positive following a quick test carried out this morning."
Milan are sitting two points clear of surprise package Sassuolo at the top of Serie A at the moment, and are unbeaten in 19 league matches.
The statement continued: "The health authorities have been informed, and the coach, who is currently showing no symptoms, has gone into quarantine at home.
"All other tests carried out by the squad and staff came back negative.
"As a result, today's training session has been cancelled. Training ahead of the match with Napoli will resume on Monday, subject to the checks set out in the federal protocol."
It's understood that AC Milan have picked up five wins from their opening seven fixtures, scoring 16 goals while only letting in seven at the other end of the pitch.
Milan are scheduled to face Napoli at Stadio San Paolo next Sunday once the international break is over.
