The news will come as a relief to the Scottish Rugby Union, who feared they would be forced to do without 10 of Townsend’s top stars if the game was postponed until next week.
France’s outbreak has forced a number of their top stars into quarantine, including star halfback and 2020 player of the championship Antoine Dupont and captain Charles Ollivon.
But the French Rugby Federation confirmed the latest round of tests has returned no further positive cases.
