I followed the tips provided in the accepted answer, but I added the property "type": "module" in my package.json in order to jest works properly. This is what I done:

In package.json:

"devDependencies": {
    "jest": "^26.1.0",
    "jest-environment-jsdom-sixteen": "^1.0.3",
    "jest-environment-node": "^26.1.0"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "test": "node --experimental-vm-modules node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js"
  },
  "type": "module",
  "jest": {
    "transform": {},
    "testEnvironment": "jest-environment-jsdom-sixteen"
  }
