Performance Center in Orlando, the company is embracing new measures to protect talent and crew members from the virus.
“If you’ve been out of the country or been in touch or in contact with anybody who’s been out of the country you’re not allowed in the facility,” McMahon continued. “We’re taking every precaution we can. It’s also why you don’t see talent or anyone else in the audience. We really are adhering to all the guidelines that we can to maintain the health and safety of our crew and our performers.”
“You can certainly still be asymptomatic and still be a carrier and there’s just no way of knowing that by just taking temperatures,” LaVeist tells In addition to taking temperatures, WWE says that segments that are now filmed on closed sets are done in waves to limit the amount of personnel in attendance.
Another major safety factor for WWE talent is travel, as they are usually on the road most of the year performing in the company’s televised live shows and pay-per-views, as well as non-televised live events known as house shows.
