More than two weeks ago, Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert was one of three NBA players to test positive for COVID-19 (Coronavirus), effectively leading to the NBA's decision to suspend the season.

The day after Gobert was confirmed to have the virus, teammate Donovan Mitchell also tested positive for COVID-19. Though Mitchell noted to Good Morning America that he showed no symptoms before testing positive, nor did he show any during his quarantine period.

As confirmed by ESPN, as of Friday March 27th, the Utah Jazz organization, including Gobert, Mitchell, as well as all players and staff, have been cleared by the Utah Department of Health, following their respective periods of isolation and self-quarantine.

Per the Utah D.O.H., players and staff no longer pose a risk of infection to others, regardless of previous test results.

The Jazz organization has noted they will continue to practice social distancing and limited outside contact, in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and NBA's recommendations, as the pandemic continues to spread throughout North America.
