The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) has extended the deadline for the Return-to-Work agreement that outlines COVID-19 safety protocols for film shoots through June 30.
The Return-to-Work agreement, which was finalized back in September, codifies the safety and testing requirements that film and TV shoots must adhere to in order to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks on set, as well as requires 10 days of paid leave for anyone who tests positive for the virus. SAG-AFTRA, DGA, IATSE, and the Teamsters and Basic Crafts are all signees onto the agreement.
No changes have been made to the safety protocols even as Los Angeles is on the verge of reaching the fourth and most lenient tier in California’s reopening system as early as Tuesday.
