Okay, it may not be as bad as our dearest Tom Hanks testing positive for the virus, but it’s still pretty shitty.

The show which is filmed in Vancouver reported to The Hollywood Reporter that the “team member is currently receiving medical evaluation”.

“We are working closely with the appropriate authorities and health agencies in Vancouver to identify and contact all individuals who may have come into direct contact with our team member,” the statement read. “The health and safety of our employees, casts and crews is always our top priority. We have and will continue to take precautions to protect everyone who works on our productions around the world.”
