NY Giants GM Dave Gettleman Had A Good Reason For Wearing A Mask At His Home On Draft Night

Giants GM Dave Gettleman is taking coronavirus safety very seriously.

During Thursday night’s NFL draft Gettleman was seen putting on a mask despite the fact it appeared that he was in his house sitting by himself.

Several reporters chimed in to remind everyone that Gettleman put on the N95 mask because he had IT guy in the house.

I see people asking about #Giants GM Dave Gettleman wearing a mask. He is being smart and safe at home with someone else in the space with hiim. Remember, he is a recent cancer survivor, chemo patient.

Just an FYI: Dave Gettleman was wearing a mask because he went through chemo two years ago and there is an IT person in his house. #Giants.

Dave Gettleman on the mask: “I’ve got a young IT fellow in here with me and we’re social distancing, and part of it’s the mask. I’m fine”

Gettleman is in remission from lymphoma, so naturally the Giants GM is extra cautious amidst the COVID-19 pandemic
