A staffer on the Today show has tested positive for Covid-19, Savannah Guthrie has announced.
The host shared the update with viewers on Monday morning.
Guthrie’s announcement came hours after it was announced that public schools in New York City, where the Today show is filmed, would close until at least 20 April.
“Personal note, for this show: last night we learned that a colleague of ours on the third hour of Today has tested positive for Covid-19, the novel coronavirus,” Guthrie told viewers during a segment with Hoda Kotb.
