Oakland A’s legend Dave Stewart tested for coronavirus

One of the more frightening aspects of the coronavirus epidemic is that it can strike anyone, at any time. A pair of Yankees’ minor league players have tested positive for COVID-19, while figures throughout the sports and entertainment landscape are testing positive.

That epidemic may be hitting close to home. Oakland A’s legend Dave Stewart stated that he had been tested for the coronavirus on Wednesday, after he went to the doctor after developing congestion and a cough.

Despite having some of the symptoms of the coronavirus, Stewart also stated that he does not have a fever.
