‘Bachelor’ audience hit with coronavirus disclosure forms for live taping

Reality TV

Bachelor Nation isn’t taking any chances amid coronavirus fears.

Audience members attending the live taping of “The Bachelor” finale, with part one airing Monday and the “After the Final Rose” special Tuesday, had to confirm they hadn’t recently traveled to countries most hard-hit by the virus or been near anyone exhibiting symptoms, according to the forms obtained by TMZ.

“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 US Centers for Disease Control,” the forms read, noting Italy, China and Venezuela, among others.

Guests were also asked to verify if they or those in their immediate household have “exhibited any of the COVID-19 symptoms,” and have “been in close contact [within 6 feet] with someone exhibiting any of the COVID-19 symptoms.”

Peter Weber‘s “Bachelor” journey will conclude Tuesday, with finalist Hannah Ann Sluss remaining. Fellow contestant Madison Prewett is also expected to return after breaking up with the show’s star during Monday’s installment.

“The Bachelor” joins a list of TV shows taking precautionary measures in response to the outbreak, with “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune” reportedly taping shows without a studio audience present.

Reps for Warner Bros. and ABC did not immediately return our request for comment.
