Concern over the COVID-19 will have no immediate impact on the 49ers’ draft preparation, a club official told NBC Sports Bay Area on Wednesday.
The 49ers generally do not send their coaches on the road this time of year to scout draft-eligible prospects, according to the official. Most of the team’s area scouts drive from pro day to pro day and do not come into contact with large numbers of individuals in airports.
The 49ers say they will continue to monitor public health recommendations. The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared the novel coronavirus outbreak a pandemic.
