After testing positive for the deadly coronavirus weeks ago, two NBA players plying their trades for Utah Jazz have been cleared of the virus.

Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert confirmed that they tested positive for the virus on their various social media accounts on March 11.

The team also announced that all its players and staff have also been cleared after completing their respective periods of isolation and quarantine.

According to the Utah Department of Health CUDOH), all Jazz players and staff, including Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, no longer pose a risk of infection to others.

Players stayed in close contact—and in good spirits—during the two weeks.

“We have a Jazz group chat that’s always blowing up,” forward Joe Ingles said.

Per the team's official website, Jazz players and staff will continue to practice distancing while limiting time outside of their home to essential activities, in accordance with recommendations by the NBA and the Centers for Disease Control.
