'Unfortunately certain things are just uncontrollable,' says the creator of the Apple comedy series.

"Unfortunately certain things are just uncontrollable," says the creator of the Apple comedy series.

The TV show, the second season of which debuts May 7, encountered multiple positives tests during filming, including one potential on-set outbreak that raised questions about the safety of the production. On Friday, McElhenney, who created and stars in the series, addressed the situation publicly for the first time.

McElhenney detailed the lengths the production went to keep cast and crew safe. Following studio and guild recommendations, they divided everyone on set into"zones" to reduce potential spread of the virus, mandated ample personal protective equipment and tested frequently."There were points at which I was tested five, six times a week," says McElhenney, who notes that any intimate scenes or scenes involving crowds also utilized rapid testing as an extra precaution.
