So now: The first takes stricter measures to protect its performers from being infected with the corona virus. As of Monday, the telenovelas "Sturm der Liebe" and "Rote Rosen" will probably take a two-week break from filming, as a spokesman for the station confirmed to spot on news. Normally this would have taken place in the summer.
"Although there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 on the set of 'Sturm der Liebe' so far, we decided in close consultation with the broadcaster to bring the production break forward," says Bea Schmidt, producer "Sturm der Liebe". "The safety and health of our crew in front of and behind the camera is our top priority. If we have to take any further measures, we will do it together with the broadcaster. This is an unprecedented challenge for our production, too, which we only can cope together. "
Since both Telenovelas have a production lead time of six to eight weeks, "a manageable break from shooting should not affect the program," the broadcaster continues. During the break, the script for the new episodes was already being written.
