The great man from Utah Jazz, Rudy Gobert, tested positive for corona virus for the first time in March. Three months later, Gobert did not fully recover.
28-year-old Gobert said to L’Equipe that he had not regained his sense of smell. HoopsHype translated the part of the interview where Gobert talked about his ability to smell things.
“The taste has returned, but the smell is still not 100%. I can smell the smells, but not from a distance. I spoke to specialists who told me it could take up to a year. “
This isn’t necessarily a big side effect, but it’s still important considering that it’s been months since Gobert tested positive for the first time. If he is still dealing with a symptom three months later, what does that mean for other people who test positive? Could other long-term effects of the virus be more harmful?
Although Gobert is still dealing with symptoms, he intends to contact jazz for the season’s restart in Orlando.
