“The Talk” co-host Amanda Kloots has tested positive for COVID.
Kloots, 39, will miss several episodes of the CBS daytime talk show while she quarantines.
“I am feeling completely normal now and feel very grateful for that,” she said Thursday in an Instagram post. “I am vaccinated and boosted which is very much putting me at ease.”
Kloots joined “The Talk” in January 2021. She sadly became one of the faces of pandemic suffering after her husband, Broadway star Nick Cordero, died from COVID in July 2020.
Cordero’s death convinced Kloots to get the vaccine, she said in February 2021 after receiving her first dose. She said Thursday that her current infection is the first time she’s tested positive in the entire pandemic.
Kloots said she tested negative prior to a recent trip to Mexico and then tested positive when she returned.
“This was (a) surprise this morning,” she wrote on Instagram. “I will hopefully be back to work soon.”
