Tall Black Isaac Fotu admits he's "a bit bored" in self-isolation but he's doing well.
Fotu was visited by NZME this week to conduct an interview through his windows at his family home, where he is self-isolating since returning from Italy.
The 26-year-old, who plays professional basketball for Treviso in the Italian Serie A basketball league, recently returned home from one of the hardest hits parts of Europe, where the entire city is in virtual lockdown because of the pandemic.
The 26-year-old has been in self-isolation since Monday where he will see out the mandatory 14 days of isolation imposed by the government over the weekend.
After landing home in New Zealand, Fotu called on the rest of the country to take the threat of coronavirus seriously, tweeting: "I've seen first hand how bad this thing can get. I'll see y'all in 2 weeks I'm doing this thing right. Let's all do the right thing and protect our loved ones and our beautiful country."
