Grey's Anatomy : Coronavirus plans~

The ABC medical drama will begin its 17th season “a month and a half into full COVID,” series star Giacomo Gianniotti (who plays Dr. Andrew DeLuca) has revealed, adding that as medical professionals in a hospital, they’ll be able to wear “full” personal protective equipment.

Showrunner Krista Vernoff previously explained they have “an opportunity and a responsibility to tell” the stories of the real-life doctors’ whose experiences they’re hearing about in the writers room. “They’re talking about it as war — a war that they were not trained for,” she added, which is why former Army surgeon Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) is “actually trained for this in a way that most of the other doctors aren’t.”
