A construction worker at the site of the Raiders' new Las Vegas stadium tested positive for the coronavirus, according to Josh Dubow of The Associated Press.
The worker hadn't been in close contact with any other staff.
Construction on the new stadium continues, with the $1.8-billion facility scheduled to be finished by August and open to the Raiders and UNLV football team for their upcoming seasons.
Allegiant Stadium is located just west of the Las Vegas Strip.
The governor of Nevada imposed an order Tuesday prohibiting gatherings of 10 or more people, and casinos across the state were ordered to close due to the coronavirus pandemic.
