WWE is going a step further in its coronavirus safety measures – including fines.
The company informed its staff and on-screen talent Friday afternoon that it will begin to enforce the wearing of protective masks. Anyone working a television taping – excluding performers working on camera – must wear a mask at all times or risk a $500 fine. The penalty increases to $1,000 thereafter for anyone with a second offense.
PW Insider was the first to report the new policy, which a WWE spokesman confirmed to The Post.
The intensified rules come after multiple WWE employees, including announcer Renee Young, interviewer Kayla Braxton, and backstage producers Jamie Noble and Adam Pearce, tested positive for coronavirus over the past three weeks.
