Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has revealed the cast and crew are back on set, filming for the Australian soap.
Filming was briefly halted in March, as coronavirus cases and deaths soared around the world.
As lockdowns and social distancing measures were introduced to several countries, the show took a brief break while the Channel 5 soap remained on air in the UK and in Australia.
Neighbours bosses have since paved the way for TV shows around the world to plan a comeback, being the first show to put down a blueprint to making studios safe to work in amid the pandemic.
Actor Stefan shared his surprise over the reaction it received worldwide, with the plans they made now being used to help other shows return.
Speaking on This Morning on Friday, he told hosts Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes about the "strict" measures cast must stick to.
He said: "When you walk into the makeup department, it’s like walking into a surgery, because you’ve got the makeup artist with rubber gloves and masks and full gowns.
"Same with the wardrobe, the costume department… Obviously we have to keep the 1.5 metre distance, that is the rule. It is extremely strict."
He added: "What we’ve done is we’ve actually broken the studio up into four groups, four teams which are all colour coded.
"We cannot cross over [into another group] and it's really weird, because when my son was working on the show a couple of weeks ago, he was at work and I was at work and I couldn’t even see him.”
On other measures on set, he continued: "We have medical officers and a nurse that does the temperature check… You can come into the compound as long as you don’t get out of your car.
"You can’t enter the building without being temperature checked by the nurse and given the all clear.
"All the hallways are divided in half and you have to keep well to the wall so you have that distance.
"There’s no touching, there’s only a certain amount of actors on one set at one time."
Stefan, whose son Declan recently joined the soap in a brief role, revealed the show were not planning on covering COVID related stories.
Declan soon joined him on the live link, revealing he hoped to pursue acting after the Neighbours role.
He has already finished filming with the show, and filmed after the cast and crew returned so couldn't even see his dad during the on-set hours as they were in different parts of the studio.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
