Some film and TV productions will be exempt from coronavirus quarantine rules, the UK government announced.

Currently, people travelling into the UK must quarantine for two weeks on arrival. However, the government’s new plan will allow those who are essential to a production will not be required to quarantine.

Instead, they will have to live and work in a controlled “bubble” environment for 14 days, travelling only between their accommodation and production location. They must also be regularly tested for coronavirus.

The exemption applies to those travelling to the UK to work on productions that qualify as British. This includes Mission: Impossible 7 and 8, both of which are being shot at the Warner Bros. Studio in Leavesden, Hertfordshire.
