LOS ANGELES — Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank is reporting a sudden spike in COVID-19 cases as Los Angeles County grapples with its highest weekly average of new cases since last summer’s Delta surge.
As of Tuesday, 43 confirmed cases had been reported to the L.A. County Department of Public Health. The rise in infections comes just one month after the studio began requiring employees to return to the office at least three days a week.
Warner Bros. is not the only studio to see a recent COVID outbreak. On Tuesday, Walt Disney Co. and Fox Sports reported six and 10 new cases, respectively, among their employees. In May, Lionsgate reported 21 new infections.
