Of course Rudy Gobert isn’t the only one who has cracked a coronavirus joke, but nobody’s laughing now.

The Utah center tested positive Wednesday night, and the NBA quickly acted to suspend the remainder of the season. Teams that have played the Jazz in the last 10 days, including the Detroit Pistons, have been asked to self-quarantine. There’s about a month left in the regular season, and then the playoffs -- all of which is in jeopardy.

Meanwhile, Gobert is under fire on social media as the video clip from Monday circulates. At that point, locker rooms had been closed to reporters, so interviews were done in a press conference setting. Upon finishing up, Gobert touched the microphones and recorders on table before leaving the room.

Some of the Jazz reporters have said they will be getting tested for COVID-19.

Gobert originally had been ruled out of Wednesday’s game with an “illness." He had tested negative for influenza. Moments before the Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder were set to tip off, Gobert’s coronavirus test came back positive.

Both teams were quarantined in their locker room.

As of Thursday morning, Gobert’s teammate Donovan Mitchell also reportedly has tested positive.

Some games were completed Wednesday night, but the scheduled New Orleans Pelicans-Sacramento Kings game never started because one of the officials also worked a Jazz game earlier in the week.

PREVENTION TIPS

Much like how you would try to prevent the flu, you want to stay away from people who are sick and practice good hygiene, says the CDC.

The latter means thoroughly washing your hands for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the bathroom and before eating. Avoid touching your mouth or face unless your hands are clean.

Use household cleaners to disinfect commonly touched objects and surfaces. Use disinfectant wipes to clean your hands or surfaces such as shopping-cart handles when out in public.

Some people are going the extra step and using smartphone sanitizers as a precaution, but a disinfecting wipe used lightly on the outside will likely work fine, too.
