Ellen DeGeneres Tests Positive For Covid-19

By Newsroom

Ellen De Generes has revealed she’s tested positive for Covid-19.

“Fortunately, I’m feeling fine right now,” the US comedian and talk show host wrote in a social media post announcing her diagnosis.

“Anyone who has been in close contact with me has been notified and I am following all proper CDC guidelines,” she added.

As a result, the taping of The Ellen DeGeneres Talk Show has been postponed until January 2021.

The announcement comes on the heels of a Buzzfeed report that the show  has been losing advertising and celebrity booking – not to mention slipping in the ratings – in the wake of allegations of the host fostering a toxic workplace.

When she returned to the airwaves back in September, Ellen acknowledged the accusation’s about the workplace environment and pledged to address it personally.
