« Yeah, I woke up and, it's weird, I never get sick and when I do, it's not too bad, I had body aches. I felt like I had been hit by a car and a goblin had detached itself from my throat and scraped the walls of my esophagus. They gave me medicine between shots because we were waiting for the positive resultAdded the actress.
In view of the statements of the actress, MGM, the producer behind Wednesday confirmed to NME by e-mail that " strict COVID protocols were followed and once the positive test was confirmed, the production removed Jenna from the set".
