A major Hollywood studio has reintroduced Covid mask mandates amid fears about rising virus rates and a new highly mutated variant. Lionsgate is asking staff to wear face coverings again at its flagship office in Santa Monica, California, after several employees tested positive. They’re also strongly urging employees to test themselves before coming to their desks — and to alert managers if they test positive or have any symptoms of the virus. The company employs up to 5,000 people. They said the rules would be in place until further notice.
