Faced with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and the incessant rise in virus infections, American television stations, radio stations, and film companies are beginning to cease production to curb the spread of this deadly virus. Last Friday, Netflix became the latest major content producer to shut down all TV shows and films in the United States and Canada for two weeks to comply with local government regulations.

Some competitors of Netflix in the online streaming industry, such as Disney and Apple, have also announced the suspension of all filming activities as a measure against the pandemic. Many major television networks in the country, including CBS and NBC, have made similar decisions by temporarily halting production or expediting the end-of-season schedule for most of their programs.
