That's correct.
One of the things on our sets is that we work in close contact with each other, and when we call for “action” to record, we remove our masks. We're in a vulnerable state.
We have been following protocols across the country, but the thing is that we're vulnerable in those positions. Because of that, we aren't at full capacity on our sets. We don't have our full background.
A huge percentage of our membership across the country is background performers. Where there would be hundreds of them on set daily, providing them a proper income, that has now been reduced to maybe a maximum of 10 people, who have to test negative every single day and are then in a vulnerable position where they have to remove their masks while we're shooting a scene. For performers and crews, it's changed as well.
We're all in the same boat. It's just diminished.
We haven't gone back to normal yet, because the protocols are still very strict, and our membership is working at half capacity, rather than at the fullness we were working pre-COVID.
