A staffer with NBC’s “Today” show tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the Wuhan coronavirus, forcing hosts Al Roker and Craig Melvin to take time off.
Anchors Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb announced the news during a “Today” broadcast on Monday morning, noting that they are practicing social distancing and sitting away from one another. Melvin and Roker were off for the day as a precautionary measure and haven’t tested positive for the coronavirus.
