The Giants have been hit with the cornavirius.
Guard Will Hernandez will be placed on the COVID-19 reserve list, The Post has learned. The Giants found out late Wednesday night he tested positive. He was immediately self-isolated and the contact tracing process was started.
A total of eight Giants players and two coaches are now in quarantine, four days before the team is scheduled to face the Buccaneers on “Monday Night Football’’ at MetLife Stadium. All but four of the Giants’ offensive linemen are currently in isolation.
All of the close contacts of Hernandez were identified and were informed to remain home on Thursday.
The Giants Quest Diagnostics Training Center will remain open and the rest of the team will follow the normal meeting and practice schedule. The Giants will be on the field Thursday afternoon for practice.
The Giants in a statement said they are working closely with the NFL’s Chief Medical Officer regarding the next protocol steps.
