Periodic. (1) Periodic testing for employees who are fully vaccinated shall be as follows: (A) During employment, “Zone A" employees who are fully vaccinated shall be tested for COVID-19 at least once per week using a lab-based PCR diagnostic test, the results of which must be returned within forty-eight (48) hours. A Producer need not commence periodic testing for a “Zone A” employee if: (A) the employee starts and concludes employment within seventy-two (72) hours following the time the employee took a pre-employment test which yielded a negative result; or (B) the performer is employed for a voiceover, ADR or looping session outside a personal or home studio, is alone in a space (e.g., a recording booth) while recording and is not required to come within six (6) feet of any other individual at the location where work is to be performed for longer than fifteen (15) minutes. The parties agree that it may be necessary to conduct additional testing of performers or background actors and crew involved in production of scenes that require close or intimate contact or extreme exertion. (B) “Zone B” employees who are fully vaccinated shall be tested for COVID-19 at least once every two weeks using a lab-based PCR diagnostic test, the results of which must be returned within forty-eight (48) hours. Producer will stagger testing of “Zone B” employees, so that one-half of the “Zone B” employees on a production are tested in one week, and the other half is tested in the following week. (C) “Zone C” and “Zone D” employees who are fully vaccinated do not need to undergo periodic testing for COVID-19. (2) Periodic testing for employees who are not fully vaccinated shall be as follows: (A) During employment, “Zone A" employees who work five (5) or more days in a week shall be tested for COVID-19 at least three (3) times per week. At least one test per week shall be a lab-based PCR diagnostic test, the results of which must be returned within forty-eight (48) hours. If the production is using “pool testing,” as described in Item 3.a.iii.(3) below, at least one test per week must be a lab-based PCR diagnostic test that is not pool tested. The remaining tests required in that week may be pool tested lab-based PCR, rapid, or antigen tests (using one of the mutually agreed-upon antigen tests as provided in Item 3.a.iv. below). The parties agree that it may be necessary to conduct additional testing of performers or background actors and crew involved in production of scenes that require close or intimate contact or extreme exertion. “Zone A” employees who work fewer than five (5) days in a week need not be tested more frequently than once within the seventy-two (72) hours prior to each day of employment. At least one test per week shall be a lab-based PCR diagnostic test, the results of which must be returned within forty-eight (48) hours. Any other tests required in that week may be rapid or antigen tests. A Producer need not commence periodic testing for a “Zone A” employee if: (A) the employee starts and concludes employment within seventy-two (72) hours following the time the employee took a pre-employment test which yielded a negative result; or (B) the performer is employed for a voiceover, ADR or looping session outside a personal or home studio, is alone in a space (e.g., a recording booth) while recording and is not required to come within six (6) feet of any other individual at the location where work is to be performed for longer than fifteen (15) minutes. (B) During employment, “Zone B" employees shall be tested for COVID-19 at least once per week if using a lab-based PCR diagnostic test, the results of which must be returned within forty-eight (48) hours. Alternatively, a “Zone B” employee shall be tested at least twice per week using a rapid test; the results of the tests must be returned within forty-eight (48) hours. (C) During employment, “Zone C” employees shall be tested for COVID-19 at least once every two (2) weeks using a lab- based PCR diagnostic test. The Producer will give good faith consideration to staggering testing of “Zone C” employees, so that one-half of the “Zone C’ employees on a production is tested in one week, and the other half is tested in the following week. The results of the test must be returned within forty-eight (48) hours. A “Zone C” employee may not go to a “hot” set or other area where “Zone A” or “Zone B” employees are present at work unless he/she has tested negative within forty-eight
