Olympiakos' game tomorrow against Wolves has not been cancelled and all of their players, board members and staff have been tested negative. Marinakis was also at Forest last week and supposedly 'shook hands with every player', yet their game this weekend has not been cancelled after carrying out tests on the Forest players.
It just seems a bit absurd to me.
It's because anyone who has been in contact with a known infectee is to self isolate for 14 days... hence Arsenal have no players that can play!
Oh so it turns out only 5 players and a few staff are self isolating. In that case the game should carry on, they're using it as an excuse.

About your first point, Olympiakos players were in contact with Marinakis on the same day as the Arsenal players (the 27th) and quite possibly at a later date, so why would they not be self-isolating rather than playing Wolves tomorrow?
Do you think any of the players/staff/officials in the below video might catch it? They've apparently all been tested and the results have come back negative:
