The Czech Republic has issued new guidelines that will allow television and film productions to start up again immediately. As with most of the world, almost all production in Prague and the rest of the Czech Republic was shuttered amid the novel coronavirus outbreak.
But the Czech government on Thursday announced studio backlots can reopen and shoots can resume, provided they meet new hygienic standards.
These include regular testing of actors for coronavirus infection every 14 days during production and the maintaining of sanitation standards both on location and in studios.
Foreign actors and crewmembers will have to show the results of a negative test before leaving their home country to be allowed to enter the Czech Republic.
