ITV soap opera Coronation Street is to resume filming on Tuesday 9 June following a 10-week enforced shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The return to production will mean that the show, affectionately known as Corrie, will remain on-air throughout July and beyond, with three episodes being filmed every week at the drama’s studios in Trafford, Manchester.
Coronation Street and sister soap Emmerdale are among a number of programs returning to work following the UK government greenlighting production, and broadcasters and producers drawing up Covid-19 safety protocols.
Safety measures on Corrie include a fixed cohort system, with crew members designated to a specific studio or exterior lot. Social distancing will be observed, while cast and crew will have daily temperature checks. Older and more vulnerable members of the team won’t be on set during the initial period of filming.
John Whiston, ITV’s managing director of continuing drama, said:...
