, Netflix shuttered production on the show for two weeks as a precautionary measure. Now, in a new email to the production team this evening UK-time, the streamer said an “individual” has contracted coronavirus. Deadline understands that individual is Hivju.
We paused production prior to becoming aware of this, but as a further precaution we will be closing production offices and Arborfield immediately and arranging for deep cleaning and disinfection. This means no one will have access to production offices or Arborfield during that time. Please note that the World Health Organisation states that the risk of catching COVID-19 from someone with no symptoms is very low. See here for the WHO’s latest guidance. We advise all individuals to stay up to date with and follow their local government recommendations on COVID-19.
