although Spanish-language clips have been found on YouTube - and Nickelodeon also removed the episode from the 'Complete 12th Season' DVD set, before that became available on Jan.
Originally produced as part of the show's current season, 'Kwarantined Krab' features an underwater health inspector placing SpongeBob's workplace, the Krusty Krab, under immediate quarantine after an outbreak of the 'Clam Flu.' The episode has yet to air in the U.S. “The ‘Kwarantined Krab’ centers on a virus storyline, so we have decided to not air it due to sensitivities surrounding the global, real-world pandemic,” the network explained in a statement. Nickelodeon has pulled the viral-themed episode 'Kwarantined Krab' from the currently airing 12th season of SpongeBob SquarePants after deciding it was uncomfortably similar to real-life events. Even Bikini Bottom isn't immune to the global impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
