‘Star Trek: Picard’ Production Paused After More Than 50 Test Positive for COVID-19 (Exclusive)
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | 1-6-22 | Lesley Goldberg

Filming on Paramount+ drama Star Trek: Picard has been shut down since Monday following a sizable COVID-19 outbreak.

Sources say more than 50 members of the large production tested positive on Monday, which was the first day of work after the Christmas break. The Patrick Stewart-led series has one of television’s biggest crews, numbering more than 450 staffers. The infections impacted multiple zones, including cast in zone A.

Production on the series was immediately shut down Monday and has remained dark since. Sources say filming is expected to resume early next week, if not sooner, though details remain in limbo.

The highly contagious omicron variant of the virus has prompted a number of shows to pause filming this week, with fellow CBS Studios-produced series including NCIS among those that have been impacted. Major events including the Grammy Awards and a number of TV and film red carpets have been canceled, while others like the Sundance Film Festival have gone virtual.

Picard films in Los Angeles, which recorded 26,754 new cases, 2,240 hospitalizations and 27 deaths on Jan. 5. In California, an average of 59,000 cases a day were reported from New Year’s Eve through Monday.

CBS Studios declined comment.

Rule # 1 = No “testing”

Rule # 2 = Turn off “exposure notifications”

Rule # 3 = No “testing”

Patrick Stewart is a Trump hating jackass who can take a long walk off a short pier.

I still think of Patrick Stewart more for playing Lenin in “Fall of Eagles”.

It sounds as if testing is the problem as this seems to indicate no-one was symptomatic.

“Picard films in Los Angeles, which recorded 26,754 new cases, 2,240 hospitalizations and 27 deaths on Jan. 5.”

Damn, I’d recommend disbanding that company, or any company which has that many people getting sick, hospitalized, and dead in ONE DAY.

Fine, they have a virus running thru the place. They will be better off when they return to work. No “Vax” needed.
