Sylvester Stallone continues filming MGM’s Samaritan in Atlanta… as Georgia governor declares public health emergency over coronavirus

Amid worldwide coronavirus panic, three-time Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone continued filming his role as sanitation worker Stanley Kominski on the Atlanta set of MGM movie Samaritan on Saturday.

It was the same day Governor Brian Kemp declared a public health emergency after 66 cases of COVID-19 were confirmed and one death in the state of Georgia.

As the 73-year-old Italian stallion made his way through the bustling set, dozens of crew members donned latex gloves and masks as well as one person wearing a full hazmat suit disinfecting the set.
