Coronavirus pandemic: WWE confirms first COVID-19 case

The coronavirus pandemic continues to spread and claim lives. Now, the WWE has confirmed that one of its employees tested positive for the disease. The employee had worked at WrestleMania 36, confirmed the WWE.

"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," WWE's statement reads, according to Fightful. "The employee had no contact with anyone from WWE since being exposed to those two individuals, is doing well, and made a complete recovery."

Before releasing the statement, WWE had circulated a memo to its employees about the case. Employees were informed that WWE believed that the matter is "low-risk" and confirmed that the individual was not an in-ring performer.

Many sporting events across the globe are either called off or postponed indefinitely. But WWE decided to go ahead with WrestleMania without an audience. "In coordination with local partners and government officials, WrestleMania and all related events in Tampa Bay will not take place. However, WrestleMania will still stream live on Sunday, April 5 at 7 pm ET on WWE Network and be available on pay-per-view. Only essential personnel will be on the closed set at WWE's training facility in Orlando, Florida to produce WrestleMania," the WWE said in an official statement.

All matches took place om closes sets. For the first time in the history of WWE, we saw the prestigious Wrestlemania getting divided into parts as the first half was shown on Saturday and the next one on Sunday. According to WWE, last year, more than 82,000 fans from all 50 states and over 60 countries packed the stadium in New Jersey for WrestleMania 35.
