“Chicago Med” is shutting down production after a member of the crew on the Chicago-filmed series tested positive for COVID-19.
Deadline reports that production was halted on Tuesday when a member of the production team took a regular rapid test — part of the show’s safety protocols — and tested positive.
That person, described as a member of the Zone A department, was immediately sent home.
