Nov. 4 (UPI) -- The cast and crew of Family Karma have put filming on hold after a person involved with the show tested positive for COVID-19.
People confirmed Wednesday that the Bravo series has halted production on Season 2 due to COVID-19 concerns.
"The cast and crew are tested regularly and rigorous safety protocols have been put in place, which includes contact tracing," a source said. "It was determined based on those protocols that there was a need to shut down production."
Family Karma is a reality series following Indian-American families living in the Miami, Fla., area. E! News reported Tuesday that an unnamed person involved in production tested positive for COVID-19.
Page Six said filming will be shut down for about two weeks. Everyone involved in production will be retested for COVID-19 upon their return.
Sources said the cast won't film during Diwali, a Hindu religious festival that begins Nov. 14 this year.
