VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — Netflix, Warner Bros. and CW have all halted in production in Canada over coronavirus fears, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The industry employs tens of thousands of people in the province, with the vast majority concentrated in Metro Vancouver.

One local insider tells NEWS 1130 out of 51 film projects in B.C., 48 have been shut down.
