Donovan Mitchell says it took a while to cool off at Rudy Gobert
“I’m fine. Things are going well, just in isolation. No fever, no symptoms. Blessed to okay,” Mitchell said
Donovan Mitchell, who has the Covid-19, is fine.
The Utah Jazz superstar was interviewed by Good Morning America.
Per USA Today, It took Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell "a while to cool off" after he contracted the coronavirus from teammate Rudy Gobert.
In response to a question from ABC interviewer Robin Roberts, Mitchell took a big picture perspective.
“I read what (Gobert) said, heard what he said," Mitchell said. "Glad he’s doing okay, glad I’m doing well. I’m just really happy that it was only two of us. It wasn’t the rest of the (team). Neither him or I have children at home. I know some teammates who have children at home, some staff who have children at home. I’m glad we were able to contain it as much as possible."
Mitchell strongly punctuated the point that a person doesn’t have to be showing symptoms to be diagnosed, calling that "the scariest part about this virus."
“I’m fine. Things are going well, just in isolation. No fever, no symptoms. Blessed to be okay," Mitchell said. "If you were to tell me you have to play in a seven-game series tomorrow, I’m ready to lace ‘em up.
"I don’t have any symptoms. If it wasn’t public knowledge that I was sick, you wouldn’t know it. …You may seem fine, be fine, you never know who you may be talking to who you might be going home to."
