WASHINGTON: Georgetown basketball coach Patrick Ewing tested positive for COVID-19 and is being treated at a hospital.

''This virus is serious and should not be taken lightly,'' the Hall of Famer as a player for the Hoyas in college and the New York Knicks in the NBA said in a statement issued by the university. ''I want to encourage everyone to stay safe and take care of yourselves and your loved ones. Now more than ever, I want to thank the healthcare workers and everyone on the front lines. I'll be fine and we will all get through this.''
