Orlando Bloom has given his followers an update about coming home safely after production on his show was suspended due to growing concerns over coronavirus (COVID-19) spread.
He shared a note on his Instagram Story, updating his fans that he had safely made it home to his family.
Bloom wrote, “Hey guys, thank you all for you [sic] concern. Just to be clear, our production of @carnivalrow season 2 was suspended by @legendary and @amazonprimevideo as a wise precautionary measure due to the events unfolding globally regarding COVID-19.”
“There have been no reported cases of COVID-19 on our set or on our production,” he added. “I feel very grateful to have arrived safely home to my family. Be safe and wash your hands!”
Last week, Bloom announced that he would be heading back to the United States from the Czech Republic after production on his show Carnival Row, which is filmed in Prague, was shut down due to coronavirus fear.
He shared a video on his Instagram Story and said, “It’s farewell from us as we’re going home to be quarantined. We’re coming home to the States, at least I’m coming home to the States because we want to get in before the quarantine.”
“Big love everybody, stay safe out there. Self-quarantine. It seems really crazy actually this whole corona thing, but do the right thing by you and your family and stay safe,” he continued, adding “a few weeks, we’ll beat this bad boy.”
No one on the set or production has been tested positive for the virus.
On March 1, the Czech Republic announced its first three cases of the coronavirus, according to the Associated Press. So far, the Czech Republic has reported 293 confirmed cases, with no deaths.
Last week, President Donald Trump announced a travel ban on European countries in order to stop the spread.
He said, “To keep new cases from entering our shores, we will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days.”
“These restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground,” he added. “There will be exemptions for Americans who have undergone appropriate screenings.”
