The rest of the Genoa squad were negative and travelled on Sunday morning, after the club postponed its charter flight from Saturday afternoon and spent the night in a hotel to reduce the risk of infection.
Perin's positive test led to Serie A announcing on Saturday that the kick-off of the league match at the San Paolo stadium would be moved to 6pm local time (4pm GMT) instead of 3pm.
