Majority of staff at Network 10 and Channel Seven are in favour of mandatory Covid vaccinations – as high-profile stars refuse to work with anyone who is unvaccinated
The majority of staff at Network 10 and Channel Seven would like to see mandatory Covid vaccines rolled out for all employees.
According to a report by The Australian on Monday, high-profile stars at the networks are even refusing to work with anyone who is unvaccinated.
Stars of Channel Seven’s Sunrise – including David Koch, Natalie Barr and Edwina Bartholomew – are reportedly refusing to work with unvaccinated hair and makeup artists.

Meanwhile, two of Network 10’s makeup artists have been forced into self-isolation in recent days after being exposed to coronavirus.
The makeup artists – who both work on Studio 10 – had bought coffees from a barista at the network’s cafe, who was working while infectious with the virus.
Studio 10 is now operating with skeleton staff in the makeup department, with all makeup artists now required to wear full PPE.

The show’s hosts, Sarah Harris and Tristan MacManus, were also forced into 14 days self-isolation after they too came into contact with the infected barista.
The makeup artists – who are both fully vaccinated – and Tristan, 39, have all so far tested negative for the virus.
According to The Australian, a study of all staff at Network 10 revealed that three-quarters of them are in favour of ‘mandatory Covid-19 vaccination’.

Daily Mail Australia understands Channel Seven’s employee survey had almost identical results, with about three-quarters of staff supporting a company-wide vaccine mandate.
It comes after Edwina, 38 – who is currently pregnant with her second child – was forced into isolation last month after coming into contact with an infected Channel Seven crew member.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to both Channel Seven and Network 10 for additional comment.
