With many sporting events being canceled or on hiatus while the nation deals with COVID-19, at least one prominent sports figure is helping spread the word about how to keep from getting sick.
Here is LSU Tigers’ head football coach Ed Orgeron.
When Coach O speaks, we all listen.

A coach who doesn’t mince his words on the field, Orgeron is an effective spokesman in a time like this.
My thanks to @LSUfootball's Coach O for doing his part to keep Louisianians healthy & safe as we all tackle the #coronavirus together. Let's all be team players and follow his game plan:
✅Cover your cough w/ your elbow
✅Wash your hands
✅If you're sick, stay home#GeauxTigers pic.twitter.com/0O1oK7m1Qj— Rep. Mike Johnson (@RepMikeJohnson) March 14, 2020
