"It's the safest place in Germany right now" The host of the German edition of Big Brother has discussed his decision to keep the show’s contestants inside the house amid the coronavirus crisis.
The show’s 14 contestants were told about the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic on live television last week as part of the show. The majority of the show’s contestants have been inside the house in Cologne since February 6, when Germany had no isolation rules.
Four more housemates were added on March 6, three days before Germany reported its first coronavirus death. Cologne is in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the German state with the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the country.
