Sarah Hyland talks putting wedding plans 'on hold' due to COVID-19 pandemic
With COVID-19 cases on the rise in the U.S. again, Sarah Hyland confirmed that her wedding plans have officially been put on hold.
The "Modern Family" alum, who became engaged to Wells Adams in 2019, appeared in Monday's episode of "The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever!" and began discussing her upcoming nuptials.
"No plans as of right now. We’ve put all planning on hold," the 29-year-old sighed before detailing how her and Adams' families would be flying in from all over for the big event. "All of my family is mostly on the East Coast."
"Of course, with my health risks," she continued, "we want to be as safe as possible."
Hyland previously revealed she is immunocompromised due to being a two-time kidney transplant recipient, which increases her risk of developing the more serious symptoms related to COVID-19. She also detailed that other illnesses hit her much harder than that of a person with a healthy immune system, revealing that she can spend over a week fighting a simple 24-hour bug.
The "Vampire Academy" star opened up in March, during the onset of COVID-19, that she was taking quarantine extremely seriously and has been sanitizing her house like crazy.
"I am obviously immunocompromised with my transplant history and am on immunosuppressants," she said on Brad Goreski's podcast, "Brad Behavior," before joking that she "took a shot of hand sanitizer, so we’re good."
With the U.S. documenting an additional 40,000 COVID-19 cases every day -- numbers stated by Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday -- Hyland made it known she does not wish to gamble on her or her family's health.
