He is due before Judge Peter Ross at Oxford Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
Rumble and another prisoner are understood to have tested negative for the virus last week, three days after the prison, near Bicester, was put on lockdown when Rumble reportedly collapsed in his cell.
