"They took great care of us. Took the time and energy to do their job at a high level. That was the right thing. I like to do the right thing"— Taylor Rooks (@TaylorRooks) October 6, 2020
There are rumors that Westbrook left an $8,000 tip for the workers, though he did not confirm that figure.
Disney workers have tested positive for coronavirus during bubble
While the NBA did a good job limited positive tests among players and coaches, Disney employees did test positive while the Orlando bubble was populated. NBA commissioner Adam Silver confirmed there were positive coronavirus tests among Disney employees, but did not disclose the actual figure.
Silver, though, acknowledged that there have been an undisclosed number of positive tests among the estimated 6,500 workers that have gone in and out of the Bubble to work on the NBA's restricted-access campus

This is not the first time Westbrook has helped workers who have done their jobs amid the coronavirus pandemic. In May, Westbrook provided meals to frontline workers in California.
