He did not confirm the identities of those who had tested positive for the virus.
On Tuesday, the dinosaur action film – starring an ensemble cast including Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum – had its release date pushed back from next summer to June 2022.
The film became the latest in a string of blockbusters to be delayed.
James Bond film No Time To Die and sci-fi epic Dune will also be released later than planned.
