Seven performers are sitting out of Michael Jackson ONE to ensure they were not showing symptoms of the coronavirus. Below is the full statement from Cirque du Soleil:
In the interest of safety, Cirque du Soleil executives made a decision to have seven Chinese artists from the Michael Jackson ONE show sit out of the show for three days (Thursday January 23 through Saturday January 25) to ensure they were not showing symptoms of the coronavirus.
The Chinese artists had just returned to Las Vegas after traveling home to China. None of the seven artists were near the Chinese city of Wuhan during their time in China.
The precautionary decision was made in consultation with the Michael Jackson ONE medical team and the seven affected artists and was supported by the entire cast and crew of the show.
All seven artists are scheduled to rejoin the cast of Michael Jackson ONE on Sunday, January 26.
