The barber for the Kansas City Chiefs tested positive for the coronavirus on Sunday, his results returning as he was cutting the player’s hair.
The football team had 20 people, including players and staff, at a barber shop Sunday to get haircuts a week out from them playing in the Super Bowl. During the appointments, the barber’s coronavirus test results came back positive, sources told ESPN.
Backup center Daniel Kilgore was in the barber chair when the test results were returned. The barber and Kilgore were both wearing masks when Kilgore told the barber to finish the haircut since he was already considered a close contact.
