FSC: Two Performers Still MIA for Needed Retests to Lift Hold

CHATSWORTH, Calif.—The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) said in a Friday afternoon update on the current industry-wide production hold in place that it has been unable to reach two performers who must retest under PASS protocol in order for the hold to be lifted. The full update follows: The mandatory production hold called on Wednesday, March 17 is still in effect. We do not believe there are any active cases of syphilis or HIV in the talent community, but need to clear all talent who recently tested with THL before we can lift the hold.  So far, everyone who has retested has been cleared. A few others are testing today and Monday. However, there are still two performers who have not responded to us or rescheduled retests. One has an active test in PASS, the other does not. The sooner we can reach and retest these people, the sooner we can lift the hold. If you tested with Talent Health Labs (THL), please read the criteria below to see if you might be one of the people we need to speak to. • If you tested with THL in the beginning of February but have not yet tested at another PASS-certified lab • If you tested with THL in March Please email us at [email protected] if you believe you are one of these people.
