UPDATED with more details: Hollywood’s unions released their detailed protocols today for the safe reopening of the film and TV industry – a joint effort by the DGA, SAG-AFTRA, IATSE and the Teamst…

“Safely getting back to our work of storytelling, and reuniting with our creative community is at the top of all our minds. But in these fast-changing times amid such a complicated virus, figuring out how to get that done right was no easy task,” said DGA president Thomas Schlamme. “We knew the only way forward was to consult with leading medical experts and let science guide us to the right approach for our unique work environments.

Thomas J. O’Donnell, director of the Teamsters Motion Picture & Theatrical Trade Division, and Steve Dayan, chairman of the of the Hollywood Basic Crafts Unions, said that “On behalf of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the Hollywood Basic Crafts Unions, we are grateful for the collective and collaborative process that took place between all of our Sister Guilds and Unions, in developing these guidelines.

Testing, they said, “is the key to the resumption of production,” noting that they “quickly determined that a comprehensive, mandatory testing regimen would need to be the cornerstone of a safe return to production in a pre-vaccine landscape. Without testing, the entire cast and crew would be working in an environment of unknown risk. Confirmed cases would be determined days after people have been shedding the virus – potentially endangering the health of cast and crew members.
