Entertainment leaders publish Covid-19 production guidelines
Certain activities, such as writing and casting, are still encouraged to be performed almost whenever possible. At the same time, other parts of the production, including the live studio audience – are discouraged with restrictions such as measures of social distance when used.
Actors and other actors, the report notes, “are most sensitive because they cannot wear PPE [personal protective equipment] when the cameras are rolling and they will often not be able to engage in physical distancing. “This will require a higher frequency of testing for both those and those with whom they are in close contact.
There are some activities, such as make-up and fight scenes, where tougher protection measures are not possible, the report said.
The plan was prepared by the Working Team for Safety of the Administration for Labor Management, which was formed especially for that purpose, with the contributions of epidemiologists and experts for sanitary affairs.
Other aspects of the guidelines include the ability to respond appropriately if staff contract the virus, educational programs, and a designated compliance officer for each production. Efforts will also be made to “assess the health / well-being of all staff before entering the job.”
The white paper specifies that personal protective equipment must be provided to “all team members and crew at no cost”.
Because of the uncertainties associated with Covid-19, U.S. networks are working on emergency measures if production is significantly delayed. This includes the procurement of programs that have already been produced either for streaming services or other countries such as the UK and Canada.
