World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has confirmed the first COVID-19 case after an employee tested positive.
According a statement released by the company, the infected individual is not a wrestler.
The identity of the infected person was not disclosed.
They believed the individual contracted the virus after going out to dinner with friends who work in the health care industry.
To confirm the news, the entertainment giant said:
“A WWE employee has tested positive for Covid-19. We believe this matter is low risk to WWE talent and staff, as the individual and a room-mate became symptomatic in the days following exposure to two people working in acute health care on the evening of March 26, after WWE’s TV production on a closed set was already complete.
“The employee had no contact with anyone from WWE since being exposed to those two individuals, is doing well, and made a complete recovery.”
The next Night Raw show is scheduled for Monday in USA.
Meanwhile, WWE will continue to broadcast live three nights a week from the Performance Center in Orlando.
