He also showcased his daily protocol, where a nurse knocks on the door to check on his health. He must wear a mask and display his thermometer reading, which was 98.6, to the staff through the door's window.

During the check, he confirms to the medical team that he is experiencing no symptoms.

His quarantine room does have a window, but he notes he keeps the blinds closed because media crews are stationed outside the facility.

Suprise Starbucks

For the second day in a row, the staff surprised him with his favorite drink from Starbucks, an iced horchata shaken espresso with oat milk and vanilla cold foam.

"One thing I really want to emphasize is how kind everyone here has been. The staff truly want to make sure we are as comfortable and cared for as possible during all of this," he wrote while sharing the video.

He also showed off the breakfast he received, a meal of scrambled eggs, bacon, and an English muffin.

He was also given hot coffee and vanilla almond milk
