Nuggets Symptom-Free After 14-Day Quarantine During COVID-19 Pandemic
An unnamed member of the Denver Nuggets organization tested positive for COVID-19 on March 19, but after a two-week isolation period, that person is "symptom-free," the team told Mark Medina of USA Today.
No other members of the organization have been tested, though they also underwent a 14-day at-home isolation.
Medina reported that the person who tested positive in the Nuggets organization went through state health care officials to obtain a test, not through private companies.
Per that report: "The Nuggets determined that no one in the organization would get tested unless they exhibited symptoms consistent with the novel coronavirus. The Nuggets are mindful of the country's limited test supply and have maintained they have followed state protocol."
A number of players and personnel around the NBA have tested positive for the coronavirus:
- Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz
- New York Knicks governor James Dolan
- Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart
- Detroit Pistons center Christian Wood
- Four members of the Brooklyn Nets organization, including Kevin Durant
- Three members of the Philadelphia 76ers organization
- Two members of the Los Angeles Lakers organization
There have been 234,462 reported COVID-19 cases in the United States as of Thursday, per CNN.com, though limited testing around the country makes the actual number of cases unknown. There have also been 5,607 deaths due to the coronavirus in the U.S. and 51,335 around the globe. The worldwide number of reported cases sits at 998,047.
