As per new rules, makers will have to manage with 50 per cent of the unit. Producers will also have to confirm that the remaining 50 per cent is working in shifts so that no one goes jobless.
People above 50 years of age have been asked to stay at home for the next three months, as they are more prone to Covid-19 than the others.
If a worker dies of the novel coronavirus, the channel and producer will have to pay a compensation of Rs 50 lakh to the worker's family and also should take care of their medical expenses.
For accidental deaths caused on sets, FWICE has kept the minimum compensation amount to Rs 50 lakh. This will boost the confidence of the workers.
An ambulance should always be there on the sets in case of an emergency.
