San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert is one of many professional athletes affected by the recent COVID-19 scare and outbreak gripping the world.
The coronavirus, as it’s also called, has forced a tremendous number of shakeups and cancellations going far above and beyond those within the sports community. Self-quarantines, runs on household supplies and travel restrictions have paralleled cases of leagues suspending seasons, cancelling events and so on.
Mostert also cancelled an autograph signing event, which was to be held on March 8, citing the desire to protect his family, most notably his eight-month-old son, Gunner, and his expected baby due this fall.
