According to sources, The Real Housewives of Orange County will not halt production for the show and will continue to film for the show's upcoming fifteenth season despite Shannon Beador testing positive for COVID-19.
TMZ is reporting the following: "Bravo isn't hitting the breaks as it continues to shoot the other housewives for season 15 -- despite the fact, Shannon announced last week she and her 3 teenage daughters all recently tested positive for coronavirus."
The outlet continues, "Now, as for why Bravo and the other ladies -- including Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Kelly Dodd, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and newbie Elizabeth Vargas -- are forging on? We're told the team doesn't feel like they're in danger of getting sick."
"When production resumed a couple weeks ago, our sources say the above-mentioned women, sans Shannon, took a cast trip to Lake Arrowhead. Because Shannon wasn't there, the others didn't come in contact with her ... and as a result, they're confident in moving forward with current safety guidelines, without having to close up shop again."
The outlet claims that Beador has to test negative twice before rejoining the group. Meanwhile, she is filming from her phone at home when she feels up to it and isn't doing any in-person, on-camera work at the moment.
Last week, Beador announced that she and her three daughters tested positive for COVID-19 via Instagram. She wrote, “Today, we are Covid positive times 4,” she explained. “The girls and I are blessed to be quarantining in the same home (but isolating in separate rooms). A huge thank you to all of the medical personnel that have been patiently guiding us through this illness. Sending prayers to all of those affected. 🙏🏻❤️ .”
TMZ adds that Bravo is doing temp checks, avoiding filming in crowds, and having the crew members wear masks on set. The same precautions are being administered to RHOA, who recently began filming Season 13.
