Late last night, we were informed that the Jurassic World: Dominion production experienced a small amount of positive tests for COVID-19. Even though subsequent tests proved negative this morning, due to our rigid protocols and to ensure that the safety and well-being of our entire cast and crew is paramount at all times, those who initially tested positive are currently self-isolating, as are those who they have come into contact with. As a result filming has been temporarily paused and will resume in accordance with established safety guidelines.

'Jurassic World: Dominion' director Colin Trevorrow on Wednesday announced that the production of the film has been suspended for two weeks after a few people on the set tested positive for COVID-19.

"Woke up to the news we had a few positive Coronavirus tests on Jurassic World: Dominion. All tested negative shortly after, but due to our safety protocols we’re going to pause for two weeks. Back soon," Trevorrow tweeted

He, however, did not identify who had tested positive on the movie, whose stars include Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.
