Kourtney Kardashian Barker recently shared details about her socially distanced baby shower on the premiere episode of Season Five of “The Kardashians.” She revealed that she had tested positive for COVID on the morning of the event, as did her husband, Travis Barker. Despite the diagnosis, Kardashian Barker decided to attend the shower as her mother, Kris Jenner, wanted her to see the decorations that had been planned. Jenner, who had organized a Disney-themed baby shower for her daughter, initially instructed the couple to wear masks at all times, but they ultimately chose to socially distance themselves from the guests.
Upon learning about her daughter’s COVID diagnosis, Jenner expressed concern for Kardashian Barker, who is considered to be a high-risk pregnancy. Despite the potential risks, Kardashian Barker decided to attend the shower with her husband, who had also tested positive for the virus. The couple opted to keep their distance from the guests who were in attendance, although everyone was supportive and wanted them to enjoy the event. Despite the challenges and anxiety surrounding the situation, Kardashian Barker felt compelled to attend the shower and see all the effort and planning that had gone into the event.
Jenner explained her decision not to cancel the baby shower, emphasizing the hard work that had been put into organizing the event and the desire for everyone to enjoy the celebration. She expressed concern for her daughter’s health and well-being, noting that some things are beyond one’s control. Despite the uncertainty and potential risks involved in attending a social gathering during a pandemic, the focus remained on ensuring the health and safety of Kardashian Barker and her baby. The situation highlighted the challenges and difficult decisions that individuals and families may face when dealing with a COVID-19 diagnosis and the implications for social events and gatherings.
In light of the COVID-19 diagnoses, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines recommend taking steps to prevent the spread of the virus to others. These measures include staying home and isolating, wearing a mask when in the presence of others, and following appropriate protocols to protect oneself and those around them. The experience shared by Kardashian Barker serves as a reminder of the importance of taking precautions and prioritizing health and safety, especially in high-risk situations such as pregnancy. Despite the challenges and uncertainties posed by the pandemic, individuals must make difficult decisions to protect themselves and their loved ones. The situation also highlights the support and understanding that can be extended by friends and family during challenging times.
