Neighbours Resumes Filming

This week "Neighbours" resumed filming in Australia. They are making a change to how they produce the program in this age of social distancing. Below are some links and more information.

These articles are interesting, but I think Neighbours being shot on a large soundstage makes things more feasible, along with the lower rate of infection within Australia. Some of what they are doing are the following: teams of actors/crew that don't intermingle (so contact tracing is easier if someone were to fall ill), no make-up retouched unless the cast member does it themselves, temperature checks and scenes with social distancing between characters.

We'll see how the final product looks, but at least the unions and other officials are involved to try to make things as safe as possible.
