Major cancellations due to coronavirus: Here are a few
From the NBA to the MLB, here are a few major cancellations due to coronavirus.
Former NFL wide receiver Kris Durham revealed Wednesday he was caught up in Italy’s 30-day lockdown over the coronavirus outbreak.
Pat McAfee, a former NFL punter-turned-media personality, tweeted a video from Durham which apparently showed the ex-receiver stuck in his Parma apartment. According to Pro Football Talk, Durham went to Parma to play for the Parma Panthers in 2017 and stuck around to be a coach on the team.

“I don’t have any symptoms of the coronavirus,” Durham told the Detroit Free Press in an email. “The quarantine was a needed measure implemented by the Italian government for the entire country. I am just following the safety protocols they have set out to avoid the spread of the virus. I truly believe the government here has been doing a great job.
“The healthcare professionals in Italy are doing a phenomenal job especially considering they have been working around the clock because healthcare in this country is free and everyone is able to receive the same testing and options.”
