Even with many sanitary measures, the danger exists.
The novelist Émilie Frèche paid the price.
According to information from the professional weekly,
Le Film Français
, the shooting of his first feature film
In an Ideal World
has been postponed until the spring.
The reason ?
A cluster appeared during the filming in mid-October, contaminating more than twenty people from the team on site.

Produced by Chapka Films,
In an Ideal World
stars Benjamin Lavernhe of the Comédie-Française and Julia Piaton in a still unknown plot.
According to dici.fr, the team was in Briançon at the beginning of October for five weeks of filming.
Following this contamination, it should not resume in the Hautes-Alpes sub-prefecture until spring 2021.
Since May, new health rules have been introduced to prevent this kind of incident during filming.
Wearing a mask outside the stages is compulsory, for example, and all protective equipment must be provided in sufficient number.
For the rest, the CCHSCT for film production has drawn up a guide with a large number of recommendations and few obligations.

These rules, used all over the world, have allowed many productions to resume work in the field.
But there is no such thing as zero risk, for example the filming of
Batman
was stopped after Robert Pattinson tested positive for the coronavirus.
In France, the filming of series like
Candice Renoir
or
Les Rivières pourpres
were also temporarily interrupted in October.
