The main favorite of the tournament from Great Britain, Olena Rybakina, announced that she could not participate due to the virus.
A month ago, the reigning Wimbledon champion withdrew before the third round of Roland Garros due to fever and illness.
Sia Wang will play in the first round in Eastbourne in the company of Barbora Krejcikova.
Last week, Olena Rybakina was eliminated in the second round of WTA Berlin by Donna Vekic.
The tournament in Eastbourne belongs to the WTA 500 category and offers a total of $780,637 in prize money. The title champion is Petra Kvitova. It will be held from June 26 to July 1.
