British TV host Piers Morgan is taking a break from his role on “Good Morning Britain” while he awaits the results of a COVID-19 test.

Morgan said in a tweet on May 3 that he noticed a “mild” symptom of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus and had taken a test out of an “abundance of caution.” The virus, which causes the disease COVID-19, emerged from mainland China last year.
