New York Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted a message, criticizing the practice of entire NBA teams getting tested for coronavirus ahead of regular people as there are limited amount of tests available.
“We wish them a speedy recovery. But, with all due respect, an entire NBA team should NOT get tested for COVID-19 while there are critically ill patients waiting to be tested.
Bill de Blasio
Tests should not be for the wealthy, but for the sick.”
So far there have been seven confirmed COVID-19 cases in the NBA: Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, Christian Wood, Kevind Durant and three more Nets players.
