Rudy Gobert, an NBA basketball player playing for the Utah Jazz, was tested and diagnosed positive for Covid-19. As a result of the situation, the NBA suspended the entire season.
NBA representatives said teams that have played with the Utah Jazz in the last 10 days should self-quarantine. At-risk teams are the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors.
What makes the situation more dramatic is the fact that Gobert intentionally touched all electronic recording equipment during a press conference on Monday. The 27-year-old wanted to point out that Covid-19 is not serious at all and has nothing to worry about. His action may have infected hundreds of people.

The number of people infected with coronavirus in the US is more than 1,000.
