COVID at Today

There is a new strain of COVID that is making its way around the New York area and it is having an impact on a number of newsrooms.

Yesterday, FTVLive told you that WABC Anchor Liz Cho was sidelined after getting the virus.

Over at NBC’s Today Show, Jenna Bush Hager was not on the air after she got COVID.

Hoda Kotb informed viewers, saying, “We should point out, by the way, Jenna’s not here. Jenna got Covid, but she is doing great,” Kotb told viewers at the start of the show. She said that she talked to Hager on the phone and she is “feeling great, feeling good.”

Her whole family has it,” Kotb said. “You know how it is, everyone gets it, they quarantine, and then 5 days later, everything’s going to be just fine.”

Well….we hope everyone is “fine.”
