Quickly after the 1st confirmed case, Peru took an aggressive stance in regards to general containment . A complete shutdown of general activities started on March 16th. The borders were closed, as well as local flights and inter state travel. Single family members can go grocery shopping Monday through Saturday and Sunday is a complete stay at home day.

It is difficult to foresee when will the shutdown start to open up, but the government stated that on the early stages they will probably allow gatherings of 50 people at most. So that is something that has to be considered when planning future projects. There is the chance that clients will have to watch the shoot remotely so new video assist transmission setups will have to be implemented. New shooting guidelines including health screening, on set behavior and hygiene will have to be strictly adopted. Many industries have been hit hard, ours included. As most crew members are freelancers these are very tough times for all of them.

The second phase of the containment will start in June, where some new activities will start to take place. We will keep you informed.
