Fans of The Bachelorette always look forward to the exciting travel destinations featured on the show, as the stunning locales are the perfect backdrop for a sweeping love story. Season 24 of The Bachelor featuring Peter Weber, for instance, included international spots like Australia, Peru, and Costa Rica. But in Clare Crawley’s case, she’ll have to visit these cool destinations another time because international travel is too risky amid the coronavirus outbreak. “We’re going to stay obviously around the United States, and closer to home when we go on set,” host Chris Harrison confirmed to Entertainment Tonight. Considering President Donald Trump banned travel from Europe for 30 days effective March 13, 2020, this makes a lot of sense.
In addition to travel restrictions, the show is taking precautions when it comes to personal hygiene. “There are massive amounts of hand-washing stations,” Harrison elaborated. “We are having a part of a trailer where we will have a doctor. You can be checked out. So, there’s a ton of precautions being taken.” The host also confirmed that production will be “staying away from the bigger cities, bigger metropolises where there is a bigger concentration of people.” Interjecting a little positivity, the dad-of-two added, “The good news is, once we’re all on campus, it’s a little bit of our own self-quarantine.”
Of course, it’s important to do whatever keeps people safe.
