Shortly after Guthrie’s abrupt disappearance, Today co-host Sheinelle Jones revealed the 51-year-old reporter had actually evaluated positive for Covid and had actually left the studio.
“By the way, it has been an interesting morning for us. As we said, Savannah left early, she wasn’t feeling great, so she took a COVID test,” Jones confirmed at the end of the program’s 8 AM broadcast.
“It came back positive,” Jones continued. “So, as soon as we found out, she rushed home to rest up. So Savannah, we love you, wishing you a speedy recovery.”
