New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton has been diagnosed with the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Payton told ESPN that he wanted to reveal his diagnosis to help other people recognize the severity of the virus and to heed all warnings and advisories from government and health officials. He said that he was fatigued but didn’t have a fever or a cough and had one of the more mild cases of the virus.
He said he was also making sure to practice good quarantine protocols while he was sick.
"This is not just about social distancing," Payton told ESPN.
