In response to rumors over the past week that an on-air talent who worked March Performance Center tapings had tested positive for COVID-19, WWE issued the following statement:

"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.”

PWInsider.com has confirmed the person who tested positive was not at this week's Smackdown taping.   The person did work Wrestlemania 36. 

The statement was first published by Pro Wrestling Sheet.
