Notice To Everyone Entering Paramount Studios Regarding Updated COVID-19 Policies
Paramount’s studio lot is accessible by a variety of people, including production clients, office licensees, vendors, special events clients, guests, certain members of the public and Paramount personnel, all of whom access, operate and interact in shared areas. The protocols set forth below represent those that apply generally to public and shared spaces on the lot.
An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any place where people are present. COVID-19 (and its variants) is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. While Paramount is unable to make, and does not make, any warranties regarding the absence or presence of COVID-19 or any other communicable virus on the premises at any given time, Paramount expects all members of the lot community to do their part to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and similar viruses, including complying with these protocols. Paramount does not guarantee that you will not be exposed to COVID-19 or any other illness on its premises. If you choose to participate in the Paramount Studio Tour or otherwise access Paramount’s Studio Lot, you do so at your own risk.
Due to the highly contagious nature of COVID-19 and related risks that are present in any shared space, Paramount disclaims any and all liability related to COVID-19 and/or the presence or transmission thereof. Anyone accessing Paramount's premises does so voluntarily at their own risk.
