IMPPA writes to state govt. for COVID19 testing of all the workers

The Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) has written a letter to the government of Maharashtra, (Hon. CM Uddhav Thakeray) thanking him for the amendments made in the guidelines for the industry. They also proposed testing of all workers working on them before the beginning of the shoot. 

The letter read,
 “ We also recommend to your kind self that before starting work all unit members wanting to work in the shooting should submit negative COVID reports because when so many unit members are involved in the shooting it is necessary to ensure that the people working should not be COVID positive and hence the report should be insisted upon.”

A number of shows that were to be resumed for shooting were called off due to lack of clarity on issues like sanitization, payment, safety, shift timings.
