Mnet's 'I-LAND' has suspended production after an employee A tested positive for coronavirus. 

According to an exclusive report by Dispatch, an employee of a service company A in charge of cleaning the site tested positive for the coronavirus. The cleaning crew member visited the set on August 12 to carry out his duties and was alone wearing a mask.

An I-LAND insider confirmed to Dispatch stating, "We followed all the quarantine guidelines such as checking fever and preparing questionnaires. We will inform health officials of the route of infection and contact people when the results of the investigation come out. The set of I-LAND has been shut down, closed off and disinfected. We have informed the staff and contestants that there was a positive case and for their safety, all of them will be tested as well."

I-LAND has canceled all scheduled recordings for the 15th and disinfected the site on the 14th and 15th. They're also trying to do contact tracing through CCTV.

The program's debut group has cancelled all schedules and gone into self-quarantine. Both the production team and cast will undergo testing. Some are waiting for results. 

Meanwhile, I-LAND is a joint venture survival reality program by CJ ENM and Big Hit.
