Hollywood star Orlando Bloom has “arrived safely” back in the US after filming of his web-series Carnival Row was halted in the wake of the COVID-19 aka Coronavirus pandemic.
Bloom, who is expecting a baby with fiancee Katy Perry, had been shooting for season 2 of the show in the Czech Republic when US President Donald Trump announced he would be banning the majority of travelers from mainland Europe from midnight on March 13 to curb the spread of the COVID-19 disease, reports aceshowbiz.com.
Coronavirus Pandemic: Orlando Bloom Returns Home As Shoot For ‘Carnival Row’ Gets Suspended
As a result, production bosses decided to postpone their shoot on Thursday to allow US-based cast and crewmembers time to race home before the travel ban went into effect and by Friday night.
Orlando took to his Instagram Story timeline to share an update with fans, thanking them for their concern and making it clear the set shutdown was “a wise precautionary measure” in light of the global health crisis, and not because of any infection cases within the production team.
“I feel very grateful to have arrived safely home to my family,” Bloom said.
He encouraged followers to maintain personal hygiene practices: “Be safe and wash your hands!”
Bloom and his colleagues are expected to self-isolate for several days to prevent any possible spread of the coronavirus, even if they are not showing any of the flu-like symptoms associated with the illness.
