Lionsgate, a Hollywood studio, has reinstated a mask mandate for around half of its workforce at its main office situated in Santa Monica, California. This decision follows reports of several employees allegedly testing positive for COVID-19.
The internal announcement of this policy shift was made through an email by Sommer McElroy, Response Manager for Lionsgate/Starz. A copy of the email was obtained by Deadline.
Starting immediately, employees working on the 3rd and 5th floors of the five-story building are obligated to wear medical-grade face coverings, including surgical masks, KN95, or N95 masks.

From Deadline:
In another throwback to the early years of the pandemic, every Lionsgate employee is required to perform a daily self-screening prior to coming to the office each day and must notify McElroy and stay home if exhibiting any symptoms or have traveled internationally in the last 10 days. The latter would impact a number of a people, coming in the middle of summer vacation season.
Lionsgate also is conducting contact tracing and providing at-home Covid test kits upon request.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported recently “small increases in COVID-19 indicators over the past four weeks indicating increased transmission,” though the statement also stressed that “overall metrics remain at a low level of concern.”
Hollywood studios instituted strict Covid mandates as they started bringing employees to the offices in 2021. Lionsgate started the phased process in October 2021; the company expanded the in-person requirement to four days a week in January of this year.
Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the prevalence of COVID-19 across the nation remains very low.
Santa Monica, located within Los Angeles County, reports an extremely low rate of COVID-19 hospitalizations.
Take a look:
Rates of positive COVID-19 test results also remain low throughout the country, including in California.
This is clearly an attempt to steal another election.
It appears that Alex Jones was right when he warned that by December, there would be a return to full COVID lockdowns.
