The HGs of Big Brother Germany are currently being informed about the coronavirus. So far they’ve seen a news special & they’re asking questions now. IMO the host & a doctor are downplaying the situation (maybe to avoid self evictions). HGs are calm, but a bit confused… #bbcan8 pic.twitter.com/yS5r885TA3

The contestants also got to clear their doubts about coronavirus from the resident doctor who sat behind the glass sheet. They were shown video messages from their family members who tried to keep them calm by joking how they are in the safest place.
Four new contestants entered Big Brother Germany on March 9, but they were barred from speaking about the current state of affairs.
According to a BBC report, the decision to inform the contestants came after the makers were criticised on social media.
