Over the last week, WWE has moved all of its events to Orlando, Florida at the WWE Performance Center.
There have been reports that all talent and crew have been undergoing medical testing before entering the facility to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. WWE issued the following statement on doing the testing:
“In consultation with WWE Medical Director Dr. Maroon, WWE Associate Medical Director Dr. Dugas and ringside physician Dr. Westerfield, as a best practice and precautionary measure all WWE performers and staff are required to participate in medical screenings prior to entering WWE training center, which is now operating as a closed set.”
Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated noted that “WWE has established a series of protocols, based on guidelines set by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to minimize risks and protect its performers and staff.”
However, WWE is not testing those that are asymptomatic because of the lack of testing for people in need.
