NBC’s “Today” show was without Al Roker and Craig Melvin on Monday morning, amid concerns after a staffer on the show tested positive for coronavirus.
“Last night we learned that a colleague of ours on the third hour of Today has tested positive for COVID-19,” anchor Savannah Guthrie told viewers on Monday. “Out of an abundance of caution, Craig and Al have taken the morning off, so we can trace their contacts, see what is going on with them, we promise to keep you posted.
Both are fine right now, they feel good, but caution is the order of the day,” Guthrie said.
NBC News president Noah Oppenheim told staffers in a memo that the employee who tested positive for coronavirus is experiencing "mild symptoms" and undergoing treatment.
