Dave Martinez concerned about Marlins' coronavirus outbreak: 'I'm scared. I really am'

Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez is concerned about a coronavirus outbreak on the Miami Marlins. Martinez — who underwent a heart procedure in September — said he was “scared” upon finding out multiple players with the Marlins tested positive.

Martinez, 55, explained how he’s taking extra precautions to make sure he doesn’t contract coronavirus.

Martinez’s full comments read:

“I’m going to be honest with you, I’m scared. I really am. I go from here, home, back here every day, that’s all I do. I wash my hands, I went from 47 times a day to probably 99 times a day.
