Notice of Termination of the COVID-19 Safety and Testing Protocols for Commercial and Co/Ed Agreements

SAG-AFTRA has agreed to terminate the COVID-19 Production Safety and Testing Protocol Agreements for the Commercial and Corporate/Educational & Non-Broadcast Contracts.

The protocols will expire May 11, 2023, concurrent with the date the federal government has identified for the expiration of the Coronavirus public health emergency. 

Projects in production as of May 11, 2023 which had already established a mandatory vaccination policy in Zone A, may continue that policy for the duration of the production.

Beginning on May 12, 2023 through July 31, 2023, performers working in scenes that require close or intimate contact or extreme exertion, may request COVID antigen self-administered testing for themselves and other performers with whom they will be working in those scenes.
