The Cubs already had placed relievers Brandon Workman, Jason Adam and Dan Winkler on the coronavirus-related injured list Monday.
Bullpen coach Chris Young and first base coach Craig Driver have tested positive.
Ross says the Cubs are erring on the side of caution if any players have COVID-19 symptoms.
