Several Los Angeles-based non-fiction film and TV production companies are telling their staffers to keep working despite the California governor and L.A. mayor's 'Stay at Home' and 'Safer at Home' orders

that she lost her job after requesting to work from home last Thursday, after the World Health Organization had labeled coronavirus. Her supervisor, who immediately allowed her to, later told her it was against company policy and she would have to leave her job to stay home, which she did.

Another source, who wished to remain anonymous, confirmed Price's description of her experience, saying that Burns told the staff that if anyone was at risk, he was, due to his age . Burns made clear to those currently employed by Prometheus that they could leave their shows if they chose to, but that he would not allow certain job roles to work from home and remain currently employed.

Employees who were still at offices as of Friday described feeling torn between concern for their own safety and concern for how long the coronavirus would endanger their ability to get a paycheck. "People are freaked because it's a paycheck, it's money and the industry could be shut down for months," one source said. On Friday, Burns ordered lunch from Marino Restaurant for those still in the office.

Garcetti's "Safer at Home" policy is a legally enforceable order, with penalties including fines and imprisonment. Newsom has said he does not think enforcement of the "stay at home" order will be necessary.
