Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's production company hit with coronavirus outbreak
Aug 15, 2020
Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's production company has been hit with a coronavirus outbreak, after 10 staff members tested positive.
Westbrook Inc. - which was launched by Will, his wife Jada, Miguel Melendez, and Ko Yada in 2019 - has become the victim of a small outbreak of the infectious illness, according to Variety.
The publication also reports that this is the "first significant transmission reported at a production company", but says that since testing positive, all 10 members of staff have quarantined at home and were later re-tested, with them each receiving a negative result.
Westbrook Inc. told Variety: "We received 10 positive tests and the crew members quarantined and remain in quarantine.
“All 10 people were retested and have received negative results. We will continue to follow all official guidelines and safety protocols."
To keep other staff members and those around them safe, production has been halted on the project that the infected staffers were working on, but production continues on several other shows that involve non-infected workers.
A representative for Westbrook said that some people who were in close contact with the infected workers have self-quarantined, but they wouldn't confirm how many.
The company also insists that none of the infected workers showed symptoms of the virus.
