Deadline is reporting that filming on Paramount Pictures’ Mission: Impossible 7 in Venice, Italy has been halted after the local government “put a stop to all public gatherings” after the number of coronavirus cases in Italy rose to a reported 219 cases.

Production was set to take place in Venice for three weeks before moving on to other locations. The outlet reports that production will either move the entire crew to another filming location or “to their home countries until they get a better sense of the continuing situation.”

Paramount issued the following statement: “Out of an abundance of caution for the safety and well-being of our cast and crew, and efforts of the local Venetian government to halt public gatherings in response to the threat of coronavirus, we are altering the production plan for our three-week shoot in Venice, the scheduled first leg of an extensive production for Mission: Impossible 7. During this hiatus, we want to be mindful of the concerns of the crew and are allowing them to return home until production starts. We will continue to monitor this situation, and work alongside health and government officials as it evolves.”

Mission: Impossible 7 is set to premiere on July 23, 2021, followed by Mission: Impossible 8 August 5, 2022.
