Walt Disney Television Studios Halting Production Due To COVID
Many television studios in LA are opting to push back the start of production in the New Year due to a large surge in COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles County.

The decision to push back production is a response to an appeal by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health urging the film and television industries to consider halting production due to the surge in COVID-19 cases in California. On New Year’s Eve, Los Angeles reported the third consecutive day of coronavirus-related deaths. According to the piece on DEADLINE, on Wednesday the region recorded its 10,000 death related to the coronavirus. LA County’s ICU capacity also sits at 0% and the stay-at-home order for the region has been extended until January 16th.
