"In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and NBA recommendations, all players and staff will continue to practice social distancing while limiting time outside of their homes to essential activities. The Utah Department of Health has determined that all Jazz players and staff, regardless of prior testing status, no longer pose a risk of infection to others," the statement read.

Gobert was the first NBA player to test positive for the virus on March 11, which prompted the league to suspend its games indefinitely a day after.
