After announcing on Thursday that he has a confirmed case of coronavirus, Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller went on the TODAY Show on Friday to spread awareness about the virus.
Miller explained that he hadn’t been reckless and still tested positive for COVID-19.
“I was shocked,” Miller said. “We’ve been taking this serious since Day 1. I started in San Francisco — training where I normally train — and San Francisco was one of the first cities that had a stay-at-home order. Right when San Francisco had the stay-at-home order, we [made] the decision to come back to Denver.
“I’ve been in Denver for about four weeks now, and within that four weeks, I’ve probably left the house four times. With all of those, I never got out of the car. It’s just to drive and pick up food and come home. So I’ve really just been taking it serious, staying at home.”
Miller, who has asthma, told the TODAY Show that his symptoms started with a simple cough and then got worse. Miller is “feeling better” now, though, and he is resting in his Colorado home.
