“Dancing With The Stars” season 31 launch may have gone off without a hitch, but the ongoing pandemic nevertheless managed to dim the mirror’s radiance. As at least four cases of COVID were recorded following the program’s Sept. 19 Disney+ premiere.
According to Dancing With The Stars spokesman, according to our pod system, all four of the crew members who tested positive work in “totally different divisions that do not have in person interaction with each other.”
More than 300 production workers work on the show.
“Contact tracing was immediately conducted,” the spokesperson continued. “All close contacts were notified and put on an increased testing cadence. No close contact of the four positive production employees has since tested positive.”
The spokesperson went on to say that. “The entire set has been disinfected and as an extra precaution, we asked the majority of employees to work from home.”
