‘People had to be moved out of their locked down LGAs, regular testing, it was very difficult to access locations,’ she said.
The actress explained that everyone one set was ‘really conscientious’ about having a safe environment and the Covid regulations in place that there were ‘no incidences’ or close contacts on set.
‘I think everyone just felt very grateful to be working but there were huge amounts of inconveniences,’ she added.
While they managed to get through filming unscathed, Claudia said that it was a shame they couldn’t bond and socialise with each other outside of work.

No socialising: While they managed to get through filming unscathed, Claudia said that it was a shame they couldn’t bond and socialise with each other outside of work. ‘You don’t get to go out and have a drink or have dinner after work,’ she said
‘It was still a bit of a shame; you don’t get to go out and have a drink or have dinner after work. There’s no socialising, and this kind of work is quite social,’ she said.
But when it came to the final product, Claudia proudly said: ‘There’s no evidence we shot through a lockdown.’
