Answer:

No report would be filed, as this is not a case of an accident in the workplace.

Step-by-step explanation:

OSHA is an institution that regulates and manages proper working conditions across the country. OSHA's goal is to avoid work environments that endanger the physical and psychological health of employees. In the case shown in the question above, Wei Xu was in poor health when he was attacked by wasps. However, this incident took place outside the work environment, during Wei Xu's vacation, so OSHA's work does not fit into this incident, this case will not be recorded and no reports will be filed.
