But after a while you have to let go and just focus on the job. You can't be on the set and be paranoid about the fact that you might contract. I go in there and I can't tell you the joy it has given me to go back to sets. I just feel like it's a new life. But you do what you have to do."

Dia has begun shooting for a series. She further spoke about how everyone on sets has fear despite there being precautions in place.

But even then when you step out you say a quiet prayer and you hope that everybody else is also doing their best to ensure everyone safety," she said.
