"Those affected will now self-isolate in line with Scottish Government & JRG guidelines for 10 days.

"As a precaution, first-team and academy operations have been suspended for today whilst we deep clean the building.

"We will return to normal business tomorrow with further tests planned for all players & staff."

Last week, Accies player Lee Hodson was ruled out of the win over Livingston after coming into contact with St Mirren goalkeeper Jak Alnwick, who tested positive for Covid-19.

Brian Rice's side are set to travel to Rugby Park this weekend to face Kilmarnock.
