Sun reported that studio executives were forced to rent a private jet to ensure employees could return home.
A source told the publication: ‘The whole production hit yet another problem and there were upheavals between the cast and crew.
“For some of them, the prospect of being quarantined at a hotel in the UK is a step too far and they demanded that they fly home before the rules changed. The studio had to fund a jet back and the absent cast and crew will inevitably cause another delay.
“Morale is really low and many of the younger employees who are not making a lot of money simply think it is no longer worth it.”

Filming is now due to resume in England, the latest change in a long list of setbacks dating back to last year.

According to another report from The Sun, the actor is spending millions to adapt an old military base for filming to ensure that the rest of the production runs smoothly.
The production was designed to be moved to a former Longcross tank design base in Surrey from Leavesden in Hertfordshire.
It comes after claims that five team members ‘gave up’ after the actor ‘released a second rant’ after his fury over the team breaking COVID rules.
The actor said he scolded the team after catching them breaking the UK’s COVID-19 rules at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden.
A source later said the news of the first explosion was made public that there was ‘more anger’ in the already ‘tense’ production.
It was also previously reported that the star scolded workers who broke the rules of social distance while filming at Warner Bros. Studios.
Invoking the serious attitude of his character, Ethan Hunt, the actor said to them: ‘If I see you doing this again, you will leave.’
The newspaper said the reprimand was recorded on an audio tape, to which he added: ‘And if anyone on this team does this, that’s it – and so are you and so are you.
– And you, never do that again. We’re not going to end this damn movie. ‘
The American actor was furious after seeing the pair less than a meter away from each other on the computer screen.
