Whoopi Goldberg Tests Positive
Whoopi Goldberg was absent from The View this past Monday after testing positive for COVID-19. In accordance with a rep who spoke with Entertainment Weekly, the actress and TV personality who just clocked 67 had been feeling under the weather. Because of this, she’s home resting until she fully recovers.
This marks the second time Goldberg is missing the show attributable to COVID-19. She also tested positive in January this 12 months, causing her to miss some show episodes.
During that point, she contacted her co-hosts via livestream to update them on her well-being. She shared how shocked she was to have COVID-19, as she’s triple vaccinated and hadn’t been anywhere on the time.
“It’s considered one of those things you think that; I’ve done all the things I used to be alleged to do… Yeah, it doesn’t stop Omicron.”
Since its outbreak in January 2020, COVID-19 every day deaths and transmissions have seen a notable downward trend. That said, transmission tends to peak during fall and winter, also often called the respiratory virus seasons. For the reason that weather keeps people indoors more, the virus can spread easily.
In Goldberg’s absence this week, her co-host Sara Caines has taken over as moderator alongside longtime co-host Sunny Hostin and recent co-hosts Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
The View airs on weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
