Player have been throwing up, as well as suffering from tummy aches and fatigue, according to RMC Sport.
Several members of the squad are said to have been affected by the illness on Saturday morning.
It is unclear if the virus has ruled anybody out of this afternoon’s game.
League leaders PSG travel to fourth-placed Monaco in a mouthwatering match up.
And boss Christophe Galtier is already dealing with a depleted squad for the crunch encounter.
Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Marco Verratti and Achraf Hakimi are missing through injury.
PSG go into the game having won just three out of their last six league games, but are still eight points clear at the top of Ligue 1.
And the virus comes just three days before the Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Bayern Munich.
Messi is set to return to training on Monday ahead of the game, having picked up a hamstring strain in the French Cup loss to Marseille on Wednesday.
However, Mbappe looks set to miss the meeting with Bayern.
