Four Jurassic World crew members test positive for COVID-19

Four advanced crew members working on the Jurassic World film have tested positive for COVID-19.

Initial media reports suggested three crew members however the public health superintendence has confirmed a fourth case.

Industry sources told MaltaToday that the new cases were not actors.

Sources also said that those who came in contact with the infected were immediately put into isolation.

Earlier in August, Film Commissioner Johann Grech announced the production would start filming by the end of the month.
