The Celtics announced Thursday the team is “exercising an abundance of caution,” after two Utah Jazz players have tested positive for coronavirus.
“We have been in constant communication with our Massachusetts Department of Public Health officials, including Larry Madoff MD of the Bureau of Infectious Disease and Laboratory Sciences at the Department,” the team said in a statement. “Specific to the news about the Utah players, the DPH has advised us that based on those players’ health statuses during this period, it is unlikely that anyone from the team came into contact with them while they were contagious.
