30 Jul – Always one to take a step ahead, Netflix recently announced that it is mandating vaccinations for the casts of all its US productions. Becoming the first major Hollywood studio to do so, the streamer has informed all of its production teams and partners that everybody in "Zone A" - which consists of actors and those who come in close proximity to them - will be required to get vaccinated. The decision comes following the rise of COVID cases in the US fuelled by the highly contagious Delta variant.
