A spokesperson for the heavyweight champion confirmed he has not shown any signs of coronavirus.
Symptons of the deadly virus – which has claimed 433 lives in the United Kingdom – are believed to appear between two and 11 days.
AJ’s represenative said: “AJ is at home following government guidelines, he is fit and well.
“He wishes everyone affected a speedy recovery and a huge thank you to all the front line key workers.”
Earlier this week, WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO champ Joshua tweeted: “Hi guys, hope everyone’s staying safe.
“It’s humbling to see people giving their everything right now to keep us safe. Shout out to everyone on the front-line.
“We see you, we appreciate you, we thank you and we’re in awe of you.”
AJ is scheduled to fight Kubrat Pulev at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 20.
