In a recent interview with ESPN, Tony Parker revealed how he and his family dealt with the coronavirus threat over the last couple of weeks. Tony Parker was quoted as saying “I’ve been in San Antonio this whole time.” Parker said, “I got really close to my family, really close because my father-in-law caught it in Paris. My sister-in-law caught it, too. We were worried the first two or three weeks to make sure they would be OK. Now, they are OK. They did some testing and now they’re negative. It puts a lot of stress on my family. You never know with a new virus like this. Everybody reacts differently. That is why I am very thankful that nothing happened to my sister-in-law and father-in-law.”
