But some netizens requested that even though they have giant face shields, it would be much better if the hosts are also wearing face shields.
Nice one on the giant face shields EB! Pero baka pwede po sa hosts mag face mask or face shield din sila lalo na medyo magkakalapit sila sa stage.

Other than the giant face shields that the show has, the safety standards of Eat Bulaga are also tight.
Both contestants are expected to send a health declaration before attending the show and standby nurse and doctor are present in the studio.
Furthermore, the show thoroughly practices safety precautions to control and prevent the coronavirus outbreak.
