Switzerland, who are playing Croatia in a friendly on Wednesday, next play Spain on Saturday and Germany three days later in the Nations League.
Dortmund said tests conducted last week on all their players before they left for international matches were negative.
"All tests conducted for staff and players after last week's game against Freiburg were negative," it said.
The Bundesliga takes a break this weekend with international friendlies and Nations League games scheduled.
