Universal is reportedly spending $5 million on new protocols to make the set a safe place.
“Anyone with symptoms will be isolated immediately before being sent home." We want to make sure that we are going above and beyond the national protocols to create a safe environment," the production executive said. "Cost isn’t our main concern now: it’s safety. We will take direction from our medical team, but we’re confident that with the staggered scheduling and zones of talent and crew, along with a system of contact tracing, we can move forward with limited delay in production.”
