Cutrone's move to Fiorentina will be made permanent in the summer of 2021 for a fee believed to be in the region of £15.3m.
The 22-year-old made just 12 Premier League appearances under Nuno Espirito Santo, scoring twice.
Fiorentina defender German Pezzella sent a message via Instagram after himself, Cutrone and Dusan Vlahovic tested positive for coronavirus.
“As you know, after the tests and two days with some symptoms, they confirmed I have COVID-19,” said the Argentina international.
“The symptoms have now disappeared and I am at home following the procedures indicated by my club’s medical staff."
It comes after all Premier League and Football League fixtures were suspended on Friday due to the outbreak of Covid-19.
The Government has not yet banned mass gatherings but many sports administrators have taken the decision themselves to cancel or postpone events.
