The Cowboys have not released an official statement on the matter due to employee confidentiality clauses. Elliott's mother issued some clarification regarding Elliott's test results via Twitter.

His sister and I tested negative. We were around someone who tested positive 3 days after we were with them, which is why we were tested. You can be walking around with it and never know, because you have ZERO symptoms. Chew on that for a bit! https://t.co/RwIitV41Ox
