Alaves are the latest LaLiga club to have been hit by coronavirus, with 15 new cases of Covid-19 - including three first-team players - confirmed by the Basque outfit.
The news follows Valencia's announcement on Monday that 35 per cent of their squad have the virus and Espanyol's confirmation of five cases on Tuesday.
"A total of 15 people have tested positive, three of them belonging to the first-team squad of Deportivo Alavés," the Basque club said on their website on Wednesday.
Alaves added that seven of those who had tested positive were from the coaching staff and the other five employees in different sectors of the club.
None of the players from the Baskonia basketball team, which forms part of the institution, have the virus.
"The club made the decision to carry out the tests within the policy of responsibility with the people who are part of our family and the results have shown that it was the best way to locate the cases as a matter of urgency and to put in place the prevention measures to reduce, as far as possible, more infections," Alaves added.
"The people detected are asymptomatic and in good health."
