WWE issued the following
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 roommate 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 report states, the person went for dinner with friends who work in the healthcare industry after WWE’s last set of tapings, which included Wrestlemania 36.
After testing positive for COVID-19, the person went immediate into quarantine, and is now feeling much better.
