The Show Must Go On: Covid-19 Testing for Production Companies

Arts, film and production were one of the many industries brought to a standstill when the Covid-19 pandemic began. Since then, many film crews have been able to safely return to work by implementing Covid-19 testing as a simple but effective precaution.

Since the pandemic began, the uncertainty of the future makes planning ahead somewhat challenging. However, there is one thing for sure. Following a very difficult time, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. For the arts and film industry, this means getting back into production, with a few Covid-19 considerations to bear in mind.

When returning to work, a Covid-safe environment should be top priority. Unfortunately, social distancing whilst on set is not always possible, particularly for actors, film crews and make-up artists who have no choice but to get up close and personal at times.

Whilst wearing PPE provides a level of protection, testing for Covid-19 prior to filming helps to further protect and promote the safety and wellbeing of your entire team. Many cases of Covid-19 are asymptomatic, so a simple swab test is all you need to prevent an outbreak on set.

As a leading provider of Covid-19 testing, Better2Know has supplied dozens of film crews with Covid-19 PCR tests. So far, we have assisted both UK and international production companies, including a film crew based in California.
