Bachelor audience required to sign coronavirus disclosure form after Jeopardy shoots without crowd

Bachelor fans were forced to sign a coronavirus disclosure form to attend the After The Final Rose taping on Monday night.

All guests attending the show were handed a COVID-19 disclosure form according to a TMZ report on Tuesday.

According to the publication it said: ‘We are asking all guests to confirm they have not traveled within the past three weeks to or through a location that has been deemed “Level 3” by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.’

The CDC lists Level 3 countries as China, Iran, Italy, and South Korea.

Producers have also asked guests to answer that they have not shown any coronavirus symptoms or been in close proximity (within six feet) with someone exhibiting those symptoms. 

According to TMZ, those who can’t confirm anything that’s on the form are told by producers they ‘are happy to work with you to re-book audience tickets for a later date.’

Part 2 of The Final Rose is airing on Tuesday night and the audience in attendance will also be asked to sign the same form. 

The disease has already led to the postponements of Coachella and Stagecoach and Hollywood is already making adjustments to make sure the disease isn’t spread.

It was announced on Monday that both game shows Jeopardy! and Wheel Of Fortune will tape without studio audiences.  

A person close to the shows told The Associated Press that the move is being taken out of an abundance of caution given the spread of the new coronavirus in numerous communities in the United States and abroad. 

The source spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the decision.

The popular gameshows are the latest television project to shift plans due to the new coronavirus. 

Last week, CBS announced that it was suspending production on The Amazing Race in response to the outbreak.

The shows tape months in advance, so the presumably quieter shows will not immediately be noticeable to viewers at home. 

Both are filmed at a studio in Culver City, California.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. 

For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.

The vast majority of people recover from the new virus. 

According to the World Health Organization, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover.
