Not long after this episode's February 2020 airing, this episode was removed from the SpongeBob rotation on the U.S. Nickelodeon channels and on streaming sites & most digital stores (including Paramount+). It was felt that the "Kwarantined Krab" segment was insensitive in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 29, 2022, the segment finally aired, and the episode was added to Paramount+ on May 31, 2023.
Kwarantined Krab was originally scheduled to air in the United States in 2020, but the events of COVID-19 caused it to be banned until its airing on Nickelodeon on April 29, 2022 (making it the final episode of the twelfth season to air), due to the episode's plot revolving around a pandemic. Though, it was originally announced in June 2019, months before the start of the real-world pandemic.
