Two people in a shooting unit test positive for coronavirus

Two members in a shooting unit tested positive for COVID-19, recently.

They were working on Mizanur Rahman Aryan's upcoming tele-fiction for Eid-Ul-Azha, Pran Priyo, featuring Apurba and Mehazabien Chowdhury in the lead roles.

 "I was adamant about working with a completely healthy team. Consequently, our producer ensured that all cast and crew members were tested for COVID-19, and only came to work after their test results came out negative," asserts Aryan. "We maintained all safety measures during the shoot as well. Everyone wore masks, the shooting house was properly disinfected and cleaned, an oxygen cylinder and oximetres were kept on the set, in case of emergencies. We checked everyone's temperature twice daily." One of the unit members was in charge of monitoring if everyone was following the safety rules.

 "We shot on July 7 and 8. On the first day, two members fell ill and had high temperatures.  Though their previous test results came out negative, we got their samples collected again," explains Aryan. "On the evening of July 8, their test results came out positive. Although we were nearly done with the shoot, we didn't continue any further. We packed up immediately. I, along with Apurba and Mehazabien got tested for COVID-19 again.  If the results are negative, we will get tested again after seven days, before we begin working again."
