The remaining tests required in that week may be rapid tests. The parties agree that it may be necessary to conduct additional testing of performers or background actors and crew involved in production of scenes that require close or intimate contact or extreme exertion. “Zone A” consists of (A) all performers and background actors working on set; and (B) all employees who are present in a workspace with a performer or background actor while the performer or background actor is not wearing PPE. “Zone A” employees who work fewer than five (5) days in a week need not be tested more frequently than once within the seventy- two (72) hours prior to each day of employment. At least one test per week shall be a lab-based PCR diagnostic test, the results of which must be returned within forty-eight (48) hours (or until December 31, 2020, within the seventy-two (72) hour period described in subparagraph i.(1) above). Any other tests required in that week may be rapid tests.
