Disney Issues Statement About COVID-19 Testing Site

We recently shared the exciting news that the Equity’s executive committee has signed a memorandum of understanding with Disney for Equity performers to return.

This agreement would allow Disney performers to return to work after much debate over COVID-19 testing from the actors’ union. Disney has now issued a statement.

As shared by Scott Gustin on Twitter: “Disney has issued a statement about the reported Actors’ Equity union agreement. It does not confirm they have come to an agreement, but it clarifies information about the COVID-19 testing site:”

Disney’s statement: “We have offered the location to help with community testing. The Florida Division of Emergency Management will operate the location which is available to Cast Members and their immediate families as well as Florida residents. Any suggestion that this has been done as a result of any one union is unfounded. Our actions support all cast and our community at large.”

 

We’ll be sure to keep you posted as we learn more!
