Danai Gurira, who plays Michonne in the hit series The walking Dead contracted the Ebola Virus while shooting in Africa.
Associates from AMC disclosed the tv show was filming a future event in Sudan and hired locals to play zombies. In a really ironic happening, Gurira had been bitten by an overzealous star, and afterwards contracted the dangerous Ebola virus.
President and CEO of AMC systems Josh Sapan stated, “Our thoughts and prayers tend to be with Danai Gurira and her family members as she battles this awful infection. Similar to her character on the program, Gurira is a real fighter. We are going to uphold the woman part and try everything within our power to ensure she receives the greatest care possible.”
“Every energy is made to protect every person associated with producing AMC shows,” he continued. “This regrettable, remote incident has been carefully investigated and now we tend to be cooperating completely with CDC employees and health officials.”
The Zimbabwean-American celebrity ended up being flown to Atlanta, Georgia after her signs began to manifest a few days after the bite. Production is halted, as the whole cast and production crew has been separated so that the virus will not spread. The quarantine is anticipated to force the tv show to-be rewritten or briefly stopped while Gurira is in recovery.
