According to UK's "The Sun", which first reported the accident, Cavill hurt his leg while on an assault course, working at a height of 20ft while wearing a safety harness.
Production on the fantasy show was already halted twice this year — first in March, when actor Kristofer Hivju announced that he had tested positive for Covid-19.
That hiatus lasted through mid-August during the UK's spring lockdown. Production resumed, though paused again in November when multiple positive coronavirus cases surfaced.
Netflix's fantasy epic is one of the streamer's biggest hits, with the first series watched by 76 million households. Cavill stars as Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter who struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove to be more wicked than beasts.
