Neighbours resumes filming after coronavirus shutdown

Production on Neighbours resumes after a two-day shutdown due to coronavirus fears.

The cast and crew of Neighbours are starting to return to work today after a two-day production shutdown due to coronavirus fears.

The Melbourne set was closed on Wednesday after it emerged that a crew member had come into contact with someone who had contracted the deadly disease.

The employee has since tested negative for COVID-19, however, allowing the soap's crew to return to work immediately, with cast members following suit on Monday.

Producers are said to have introduced new measures to keep staff safe as the virus spreads, including separating crew into different teams and creating work areas for social distancing.

Neighbours is currently celebrating its 35th anniversary with a special week of episodes.
