Ezekiel Elliott’s mom shares how Cowboys star got coronavirus, need for precautions
The case of Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott’s positive test for the coronavirus highlights how easily COVID-19 spreads.
After the news broke Monday of Elliott’s positive test, some wondered if it was linked to the party he attended last month at quarterback Dak Prescott’s house.
Elliott’s mother, Dawn, shared on Twitter that it was something far less conspicuous. It came from being around someone who initially had no symptoms.
