'Jurassic World: Dominion' bosses ordered 18,000 coronavirus tests in order to resume filming.
Work on the blockbuster resumed in London last month and extensive safety protocols are in place, with cast members - which includes Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Pratt, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum - and others involved in filming screened for the virus on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and crew members who have less interaction and the ability to wear protective equipment tested less often.
In total, additional safety costs - including 150 hand sanitiser stations, an antiviral mist to fog the sets before use and renting out an entire hotel - have added around $9 million to the production bill, sources told the New York Times newspaper.
One doctor is working on the production full time, as well as four nurses in temperature-taking stations at the entrance to the set, and a number of other medics.
Those working on the film were quarantined for 14 days on arrival to the hotel and then can move freely throughout the building and use all facilities, with no social distancing required and masks optional.
