 "Coronavirus Outbreak: Boston Celtics' Marcus Smart cleared of COVID-19 by Massachusetts Department of Health")
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart says he has been cleared by medical officials after testing positive for the new coronavirus earlier this month.
In a message posted late Sunday on Twitter, Smart says he was informed of the news Friday by the Massachusetts Department of Health. He thanked everyone for their support.
“Stay safe and stay together — apart!” Smart wrote.
Boston played the Utah Jazz on 6 March. Five days later, Jazz All-Star Rudy Gobert announced he had tested positive for COVID-19, triggering rolling shutdowns of sports around the world.
Smart tested positive on 19 March. He had been in isolation since then and was being monitoring by Celtics medical staff. His teammates, coaches and staff members were also tested, but those tests have come back negative.
