"Daniel has had several precautionary Covid-19 tests during this time, which have been negative throughout."
British team mate Lando Norris drove on Thursday, but was hampered by brake problems that prevented any long runs, and was again in the car on Friday.
Testing ends on Saturday with the season starting in Bahrain the following weekend.
