After more than 50 crew members were tested positive for COVID-19, the production work has been halted.

According to the Hollywood reporter, the work on the Patrick Stewart drama was halted on Monday following the holiday hiatus. 

The numbers show how the rise of the omicron variant has affected the entertainment industry.

The show has a large group of the crew that exceeds more than 450 members.

According to the insider the shooting is expected to resume early next week, if not sooner. However, the details of the insider's report appear to be vague.

According to Deadline, Stewart, 81, was not among the people infected. Stars Alison Pill, Isa Briones, Evan Evagora, Michelle Hurd, Santiago Cabrera, Jeri Ryan, Annie Wersching and Brent Spiner are also part of the cast.

Production was recently suspended on other CBS shows such as “NCIS” and “NCIS: LA.” The Omicron surge has also forced the Grammy Awards and the Critics Choice Awards to be postponed.
