"Dabarkads, nakahanda na kaming maghatid ng isang libo’t isang tuwa mula sa studio papunta sa inyong TV SA BAHAY!" the show captioned the post. 

"STAY AT HOME at i-on ang TV bukas ng alas dose ng tanghali at sama sama tayong mag EAT Bulaga!" it added. 

On Twitter, the show posted a selfie of its hosts Jose Manalo, Alden Richards, Maine Mendoza, Paolo Ballesteros and Wally Bayola on the stage, wearing face masks and practicing social distancing. Very few physically-distancing people can be seen sitting as live audience.

The noontime show halted accepting a live studio audience last March to help curb the spread of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
