Betty White is 'doing very well' despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic
Even at 98 years old, nothing is stopping Betty White.
The Golden Girls star is "doing very well" and keeping herself busy despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, a representative for the iconic actress told US TODAY.
White is staying home to protect herself from COVID-19 and has been strict when it comes to social distancing.

"No one permitted in except those who must. Has helpers who are great with her," White's rep said in an email.
The comedian's publicist also checks in with her several times a week, saying "we always have laughs."
White is enjoying spending time at home, especially in her backyard — with a number of wild animals taking a liking to her.
"Betty has beautiful backyard with a number of wild animals visiting," White's rep said. "Two ducks always come by to say hello. They waddle up to her glass door and look in."
White's friend, entertainer Tom Sullivan, recently told Closer that she keeps herself busy reading the Los Angeles Times "cover to cover."

"She owns literally thousands of crossword puzzle books and is constantly doing them to keep her mind jumping. This is really serious with her," he said.
The update comes months after actor Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson tested positive to the virus, which leads to fans becoming concerned for the 98-year-old. White's publicist assured fans she was "fine" amid the outbreak and is still in good health to this day.
"The animal community is watching over her," White's publicist said, adding, "The virus is afraid of Betty!"
