Film and television production in Italy's region of Lazio will go forward under heightened safety measures including testing, face masks and distancing.
Rome's film industry is set to reopen on Monday, but under heightened safety conditions. Italy is entering the second phase of its coronavirus quarantine, with lockdown measures set to be gradually relaxed through the end of the year.
As the hardest hit country in Europe, Italy is eager to restart its economy but is also being cautious to keep social distancing and other measures in place to prevent another major COVID-19 outbreak.
Production is thus far only scheduled to resume in the region of Lazio, where the country’s entertainment industry is centered in Rome.
