Covid 19: Lexi Alexander Slams A HR Personnel After A Positive Case Report Surfaces From The Sets of FBI: Most Wanted

It’s the latest entertainment industry case in a pandemic that has now passed 200,000 cases worldwide and killed nearly 10,000. A crew member on the set of CBS’ crime drama FBI: Most Wanted has tested positive for coronavirus.

The midseason series had some episodes to finish shooting as it had a 16-episode order, rather than the typical 13.

Some cast and crew of the series from Dick Wolf Production and Universal TV had direct contact with the unidentified crewmember and were informed by the human resources about the positive test. Director Lexi Alexander, who said she was told Wednesday, has been vocal on Twitter that they were not informed quickly enough.

“A Human Resource person just called to tell me that someone on the crew of my last job tested positive for Covid 19,” she wrote in a series of posts yesterday. “Then she casually told me not to worry that I’m probably not infected. I’m furious…and as so many times in this industry, I don’t know who to turn to.”

Alexander said she had not been tested.

“Here is another thing. She told me they are only calling the 6-10 people they thought had been in contact with this crew member. Excuse me…do you not know how a virus works? If I was one of them, as the director, the entire crew and cast is now affected.”

Production on CBS’ FBI: Most Wanted and its flagship FBI were halted last week as most current TV shoots were shuttered due to coronavirus concerns.
