Actors’ Equity Association rejects Walt Disney World’s reopening safety plan

Deadline is reporting the Actors’ Equity Association has rejected Disney World’s reopening safety plan because it does not include coronavirus testing for park performers.

Walt Disney World is scheduled to reopen its theme parks starting July 11 with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.

An e-mail obtained by Deadline from Actors’s Equity to its members states: “Disney knows that testing makes for a safer work place. Why else would Disney agree to testing for film productions? If testing helps keep a film set safe, that is also true for performers in the parks. Despite that, we have not reached an agreement with Disney for testing.”
