Leclerc is the fifth current Formula One driver to test positive for COVID-19.
McLaren's Lando Norris tested positive earlier this month, while Lewis Hamilton, Lance Stroll and Sergio Perez all missed races due to the virus last season.
Formula One recently released a revised 2021 race schedule -- which was changed due to travel restrictions related to the pandemic -- with the opening grand prix taking place in Bahrain on March 28.
