QUARANTINE: A WAY OF LIFE

The insider told the news outlet that way before the Coronavirus outbreak, Barker's health required quarantine due to the level which his immune system is at, these days. Also, the source assured TMZ that the showbiz mogul was fine with the arrangement.

However, the COVID-19 crisis has led to a stricter routine for the nonagenarian. Currently, people with cold aren't allowed around Barker, and he only comes in physical contact with people in quarantine at home with him.

MEDICAL STRUGGLES

Back in 2018, the then 94-year-old Barker faced health issues that left him with severe backaches. As it is, this was not the first time he experienced back pain complications.

In 2017, the star host fell at home, after which he was taken to the hospital. The aging star seems to have a history of falling because the same incident occurred in 2015. All these could have culminated in the constant backaches he experienced in 2018.
