Infected NBA player Rudy Gobert wishes he had taken the coronavirus 'more seriously'

Rudy Gobert, the first NBA player to be diagnosed with novel coronavirus, said he wished he had taken the virus "more seriously."

The Utah Jazz All-Star center provided fans with a health update on the NBA Twitter account and said he's been feeling a "little better every single day." He reminded people to keep washing their hands, stop touching their faces and avoid unnecessary contact with others.

Gobert said he wishes he would have taken this thing more seriously and hopes everyone else will do so because we can do it together.
