CJ McCollum: No more autographs as coronavirus hits Oregon

On Friday night the first case of the coronavirus was confirmed in the state of Oregon. Reports say the person with the virus is a staff worker at Forest Hills Elementary School in Lake Oswego. The school will be closed through Wednesday.

Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum has made his thoughts known, saying that he will not be signing autographs indefinitely as a precaution.

The Corona Virus has officially hit Oregon. More specifically Lake Oswego…Make sure y’all washing y’all hands with soap for 20 or more seconds & covering ya mouths when you cough. I am officially taking a break from signing autographs until further notice.

Sincerely,

CJ
