Coronation Street Blog: Corrie bosses release statement over coronavirus fears

ITV have issued a statement in response to tabloid stories at the weekend saying that the number of episodes of Corrie and Emmerdale would be cut during the coronavirus outbreak.

The ITV statement reads:

Our priority is the wellbeing and safety of all our colleagues and everyone who works with us on our shows and across our production. Clearly, along with everyone across the country, we are in a developing and dynamic situation with respect to the coronavirus, so we're taking the appropriate steps. We've looked at our procedures and our established contingency plans and we're confident that we're able to continue with our filming schedule. In terms of our colleagues, our aim is to do everything we can to support anyone affected. We're keeping a close eye on the situation and putting our people first.
