Over the weekend, Netflixs The Witcher joined a laundry list of shows that have paused production in an effort to prevent cast and crewmembers from spreading the coronavirus, but now comes word that actor Kristofer Hijvu has tested positive for the virus. Hijvu, who played the fan favorite Tormund Giantsbane on Game of Thrones, had recently joined the second season of The Witcher, which will undoubtedly see its release pushed even further into 2021 as efforts are made to deep clean the set before production resumes. Deadline reports:
The streamer sought to reassure staff that it is putting in place measures to eradicate the virus on set at Arborfield Studios, which is west of London. We paused production prior to becoming aware of this, but as a further precaution we will be closing production offices and Arborfield immediately and arranging for deep cleaning and disinfection, Netflix said in an email.
The email added: We are in the process of contacting those who were in close contact with the relevant individual. However, due to the nature of this production, it is recommended that crew and cast self-quarantine for 14 days, monitor their temperature, and seek medical advice if they experience any symptoms.
