I hope that all patients around the world will recover soon.”“I hope everyone can overcome this obstacle, just like Gump!” Sina Sports wrote in their post about the news.Elsewhere, another major blow landed as Utah Jazz players Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell tested positive for the coronavirus on Wednesday.
