After Eloi, Olivier contracted the virus in turn and was quarantined, production announced Sunday morning.

“Olivier is performing well and is now isolated at the academy. This evening’s squad has not been compromised, but Olivier will not be able to participate in it. We will join him directly from Waterloo to hear from him,” the show’s Facebook page said.

Olivier’s contamination was discovered after daily tests were carried out on all competitors, following the announcement of Eloi’s condition.

In addition, the latter, one of the candidates at risk this week, will have to defend his place on the show by giving a remote performance, direct from the academy in Waterloo.

Production confirmed that it takes the situation seriously. “Hygienic procedures remain very strict and the production team strictly applies the standards currently required by CNESTT.”

This is the second time that a wave of COVID-19 has come to play the spoiler role among the residents who issue value-added tax. Last January, in the midst of the fifth wave, the start of the reality TV season had to be postponed due to several candidates being injured, before they entered the academy.
