How Would Survivor Deal with a Coronavirus Case?

It seems like, if all goes according to plan and what Survivor fandom says is accurate, we will be seeing a new season of Survivor in the future as they are set to start filming Survivor 41 sometime soon. After a year long delay (approximately), it would be nice to see the show again. But now we have a factor that could change things in ways that have never happened on Survivor before. What if there is a case of coronavirus while they are filming this new season or any other ones?

This probably wouldn’t be anything like the typical medical evacuation that we are used to even if the person with the virus would display serious enough to pull them from the game. We’d then have to deal a whole lot with possibly quarantines and filming delays. The weirdest thing that has happened thus far was the two times that they had to pull all of the contestants from the game temporarily due to extreme weather in the area like hurricanes. Would they have to do something like that until the game was given a go ahead to start again?

Plus, there would be more of a problem than simply a contestant or even the host getting it. There are a lot of other people in the show, such as cameramen and other producers that are always off camera, that could get coronavirus and force a shutdown of at least two weeks. What could one even do if there is such a problem like that? It would be hard to know for sure.

Hopefully, they have a contingency plan of some sort. I can hope that they could still do the rest of the season without having to pull anyone or many people without losing too much time. What if a person tests positive and they are then pulled then and there? Maybe it would have to be that way and there is nothing else that could be done, no matter how mild their symptoms might be.

It is hard to know for sure what could be done or would be done. Hopefully, it doesn’t happen and they don’t have to worry about such an event anyways. Otherwise, they need a plan. They’ve had all of this time to form one. If we are to expect more Survivor, we need to be prepared for these things and hope that it can be made in the future. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
