Since the diagnosis, Dolan Family Foundation has agreed to donate $1 million to Madison Square Garden’s event staff who are unable to work, due to the disruption of the viral pandemic.
At least 10 players have been infected with COVID-19, including Kevin Durant.
As of now, the United States is now the epicenter of this viral pandemic, surpassing China and Italy. According to Live Science, since the first case was detected in the U.S., it has spread to nearly 105,000 people in the U.S., across all 50 states. Subsequently, schools and universities have shut down and many states have ordered citizens to not leave the house, unless for a doctor’s appointment or the grocery store.
