Movie Studio Lionsgate Brings Back Mask Mandate For Employees In LA Office Amidst Growing Covid Concern
Lionsgate/Starz is now demanding that almost half of its employees wear masks in the office. This comes after some employees tested positive for coronavirus.
As coronavirus becomes a hot topic again in Los Angeles, Lionsgate has reinstated a mask mandate for employees in its main office at 2700 Colorado Ave., Santa Monica. The new policy, announced by Sommer McElroy, Response Manager for Lionsgate/Starz, requires mandatory mask-wearing effective immediately and until further notice. Specifically, this mandate applies to the 3rd and 5th floors of the company's five-story building and was put in place after several employees tested positive for Covid. Employees are required to wear a medical-grade face covering (surgical mask, KN95, or N95) when indoors unless they are alone in a closed office, eating or drinking at their desks, or alone in a large workspace.
