As we can see, there are multiple rules that are supposed to be followed by all the departments. Different set of precautionary measures have been allotted to different departments, owing the requirement. No one aged 60 or above is allowed to be on the sets as of now and are advised to work from home. Team will have to reach on the spot 45 minutes prior to complete the health check procedure.
Even if the work starts, these and more such stringent rules will have to be followed at any cost. It will take time for the industry to be chirpy like before but the first step has been taken.
