Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s production company, Westbrook Inc, is facing the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

County’s public health website, listing nine staff members with laboratory-confirmed cases at their Calabasas office.

“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.”

The county also requires that anyone who was in “close contact” with a person who has tested positive self-quarantine for 14 days. The Westbrook representative said that “close contacts” had self-quarantined, but did not specify how many.
