LOS ANGELES, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Production of the latest "Jurassic World" film, "Jurassic World: Dominion," has been temporarily suspended due to a COVID-19 scare, said the film's producers Wednesday.

"Late last night, we were informed that the Jurassic World: Dominion production experienced a small amount of positive tests for COVID-19. Even though subsequent tests proved negative this morning, due to our rigid protocols and to ensure that the safety and well-being of our entire cast and crew is paramount at all times, those who initially tested positive are currently self-isolating, as are those who they have come into contact with," said a statement from Universal Pictures posted on the film's Twitter account, adding that filming has been temporarily paused as a result and will resume in accordance with established safety guidelines.
