As it turns out, Savannah Guthrie wasn’t feeling well while at work on February 28 and had to leave. She ended up taking a COVID test and it came back positive. The news was announced by “Today” anchor Sheinelle Jones, who filled in during the 8 a.m. hour. “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. It came back positive,” Jones said (via People). “So, as soon as we found out, she rushed home to rest up. So Savannah, we love you, wishing you a speedy recovery,” she added. Guthrie has been diagnosed with the virus two times prior. She first tested positive in January 2022 and then again four months later.

Guthrie has been a staple on “Today” since joining the program in 2011. “It’s been a dream come true, really,” she told People in 2021 as she celebrated 10 years on the program. For reference, Hoda Kotb has been working on NBC since 1998 and officially joined Guthrie as co-anchor in 2018 —she has been co-hosting the fourth hour of the show since 2008. Fans hope to see both anchors back on set soon.
