Steve Bruce had admitted that Hull City are worried that a bug contracted by the backroom staff could continue to spread among the players.
A couple of players had to sit out the team's 2-0 win over Middlesbrough in the FA Cup yesterday after coming down with the illness.
The manager told Sky Sports News: "We're going to give everybody a couple of days off away from the training ground.
"We sincerely hope it won't be a problem for us going forward but we have five or six struggling with it at the minute, a couple of staff and three or four players, including [Robert] Koren, Alex [Bruce] and [Robbie] Brady who are away home and didn't travel with the lads.
"We've had a gruelling schedule and we just hope it's not so bad that it sweeps ahead of everyone. I had something similar about two weeks ago and there's no way you could play with that. Let's hope it's not that bad."
Hull host Chelsea next Saturday.
