Unsurprisingly, Sarandos claimed that the company is currently "seeing an increase in viewership," probably because more people are staying home to stop the spread of the disease However, to reduce the risk of infection, Netflix has also stopped production of the show to protect those involved

"There is a massive disruption," says Sarandos 'All production around the world has been halted It's unprecedented in history And many people have lost their jobs suddenly and unannounced

Sarandos also commented on a recent order from the European Union that Netflix and other streaming services must limit bit rates to prevent overloading the network While the quality has decreased, it should not be noticeable

"We are obviously following it and will look to support such requests around the world if necessary Keep in mind that at the rates we are talking about in Europe, visual quality for the consumer is hardly noticeable," he said
