Triple H claimed that WWE has made a rule that all the officials working in the “closed set” have to wear masks, perform social distancing and sanitise themselves. WWE superstars can take off their masks only when they step into the ring to perform. Triple H then claimed that if a person tests positive for COVID-19, he/she must have to self-quarantine for a minimum of 14 days. They can only return to work after they go through a battery of tests and test negative for the deadly virus.
“In the event of a positive test result, individuals must self-quarantine for a minimum of 14 days, will not be cleared to work until they are symptom-free and test negative. Extensive contact tracing is done following any positive test,” Triple H added.
