The Emmys are taking precautions to prevent the spread of coronavirus at this year's ceremony. A rep for the Television Academy confirmed to Fox News that attendees will have to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 as well as a recent negative test to enter the ceremonies in mid-September.
The move comes as cases once again spike around the country, particularly in Calif., headquarters for the entertainment industry where many attendees reside and work.
The requirement of proof of vaccination was put in place earlier this summer, but requiring a negative test is new as of Thursday.
