"Everyone is doing well and is on the road to recovery," team spokesman Josh Rupprecht told Schefter.

The positive diagnosis for the person in question came two weeks after the team had shut down its offices on Mar. 12. Yet essential staff - about a dozen employees - remained operating out of that office until Mar. 17 as it underwent a thorough cleaning. Those who worked alongside the employee went into self-isolation when informed of the diagnosis.

The two employees who have shown symptoms did not test positive.

The Chargers are the first NFL team to have a positive coronavirus test within the organization.

The NBA, NHL and MLB have all had players or personnel test positive for COVID-19.
