March 18, 2020

This is encouraging news for a lot of reasons. Obviously the first is that we want as many people as possible to be healthy. Secondly, there was great concern that the visiting Utah Jazz, who had two players test positive for COVID-19, could have spread the coronavirus. These results suggest the virus did not spread. This also suggests that the social distancing measures many have taken really will be effective in limiting the spread of the virus.
