Coronavirus: Brett Favre sends encouraging message to Mississippi senior living facility staff

The video was sent to Chad Polk, executive director at The Blake at Flowood, the television station reported.

“I just wanted to encourage you -- the staff -- to keep doing what you’re doing. Many people appreciate the work that you’re doing, and I know it’s difficult,” Favre said in the video. "These are unprecedented times, but what you’re doing is heroic and I know it’s not the safest thing as well. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Officials at the assisted living facility said that none of the staff or residents have tested positive for the coronavirus.
