Now that he has recovered, he is hoping to donate his plasma.
\"I'm actually working with the hospital here in Orange County right now. They're testing everything. I still have to wait a few more days where I could actually donate my blood to another human to help them fight,\" he said. \"But I have donated it for research purposes and I'm excited to help any way I can.\"
He has been quarantined with his girlfriend Cassie Randolph and her family at their home in Huntington Beach, California, and says the family has been \"unbelievable\" in helping him.
\"I sort of for a few days was left helpless and stranded and self-isolated on their third story floor, but they've been running coffee and food up with masks and gloves and they've been so helpful and it's been so nice,\" he said.
During Underwood's live appearance on \"GMA\" Tuesday, he also spoke about his new memoir, \"The First Time: Finding Myself and Looking for Love on Reality TV.\"
\"It was a way for me to write a book and get a feel that I have my life back,\" he said. \"After reality TV -- it's so revealing -- but I even took it a step further and decided to open up the curtains fully.\"
