Australian soap Home and Away has continued its filming schedule amid the coronavirus outbreak.
On Tuesday, one of its longest standing cast members, Ada Nicodemou, opened up to fans about feeling “anxious and scared” about Covid-19 while she prepared for another day of
shooting on set. The 42-year-old said in a video shared on her
Instagram story: “Hey everyone, just in my dressing room at work,”
“I really don’t know why I’m videoing, I’m just feeling quite anxious and scared. I hope everyone out there is staying safe. Just be kind everyone, we’ll get through it.”
Ada then admitted, she was “just feeling really flat today”, before ending her message with, “stay safe”. Home And Away – which airs in the
UK on Channel 5 – films its internal scenes in Sydney’s Eveleigh. HuffPost Australia has confirmation that a case of Covid-19 was recently “in the building”. The show’s external scenes are shot at Palm Beach in NSW.
HuffPost Australia has contacted Channel Seven for comment.
