Day 491… COVID-19 still seems to be part of almost every single waking moment of our days. Even now, nearly 500 days in, when things are starting to get back to what we dimly remember as normal, it hasn’t gone away. It’s impacting on almost every area of the project that I’m doing. The cast and crew can’t really interact. Props need to be continually wiped down. Everyone in the building is required to be tested regularly. The times for testing go on the rehearsal schedule next to the regular work sessions without a second thought. I’m in constant discussion about when on a particular day it might be best to call in the nurse practitioner so that people don’t need to be brought in from the hotel just to get tested. Initially, everyone had to prove they were fully vaccinated before they could start working. Late arrivals had to have a negative test before they flew in and then be tested again within 48 hours of arrival. People who cannot prove that they have been vaccinated, aren’t allowed to be in the building with us.
