Kris continued: "At Kendall's, everyone got tested before they walked in the door and they had to wait a half an hour until ... the results were in.” She added that people were also "tested a few days before" Halloween as well. "So we are really responsible, and we make sure that everyone in our family and our closest friends are tested religiously.
