A new date for the fixture will be arranged and announced in due course.
A Chester FC spokesperson said:
"Chester Football Club can confirm the first team has recorded a number of positive tests for COVID-19.
"Following guidance from the National League medical team, and in line with league and club protocols, our backroom staff and players will all now be required to self-isolate.
"As a result of this, (the) trip to York City is postponed."
