Days after Tyler Perry released a lengthy document detailing how he plans to safely get back to work in amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the state of Georgia is doing the same

and circulated in other safety guidelines: frequent hand-washing, the use of personal protective equipment, avoiding physical contact if at all possible, ensuring fewer shared objects and encouraging private transportation. The document also runs through many individual on-set departments and lays out more specific recommendations based on the role.

"We are so grateful to the hardworking people who make up and contribute to Georgia’s incredibly successful film and TV industry, and we thank them for all the ways they have given back throughout the state’s response to COVID-19," said Governor Kemp. "The Georgia Film Office has maintained their close work with industry executives to develop these outlines for how productions can help protect cast and crew members.

Before the virus, which brought film and television production activity to a halt across the globe, Georgia had set a new record for filming during fiscal year 2019. The 391 film and television productions that shot in Georgia spent $2.9 billion in the state, supported 3,040 motion picture and television industry businesses, and delivered $9.2 billion in total wages.

"Every element of what has made Georgia such a unique place for film — landscapes, production facilities, a skilled and growing workforce, with a pipeline of new labor thanks to the Georgia Film Academy and our College and Career Academies — are still in place, just as they were before this global pandemic," continued Kemp.
