Actress and talk show host Whoopi Goldberg has tested positive for COVID-19. Her co-host from “The View” Joy Behar made the announcement yesterday, January 3 and also gave fans an update on her status. She is experiencing very mild symptoms as she’s fully vaccinated and boosted according to Behar.

“Happy New Year from all of our living rooms. As you can see we’re back in boxes and doing the show remotely, hopefully for just a week, I’m praying that it’s just a week but you never know because this omicron thing is all over the place,” she said.

She added: “Why am I here instead of Whoopi? Well, Whoopi, unfortunately, tested positive over the break but she’ll be back probably next week. Since she’s vaxxed and boosted, her symptoms have been very, very, mild. But we’re being super cautious here at ‘The View.’”
