Corona virus hits “Mission Impossible 7” again

Filming for the latest "Mission Impossible" movie has been paused in Britain for two weeks, Paramount Pictures said on Thursday, after staff members tested positive for the coronavirus.

The company did not say who or how many people tested positive for the virus, but the British Sun newspaper said that star Tom Cruise was not among them.

"We have temporarily halted production on Mission Impossible 7 until June 14 due to positive coronavirus results during routine testing," Paramount said in a statement. "We are following all safety protocols and will continue to monitor the situation."

And the Sun newspaper, quoting unnamed sources, reported that the results of the tests of 14 staff came positive after filming a scene in a nightclub, and that Cruz, like others working on the site, would have to self-isolate for 14 days.

Filming resumed last year in countries including Norway, Italy and Britain.

And an audio recording of Tom Cruise was leaked last December, screaming at some members of the film crew for not adhering to the precautionary measures related to the Corona virus.
