Gayle Kinghas tested positive for COVID, she announced Monday morning onInstagram.
“Okay, the thing I’ve been dreading has finally happened,” King said in the video. “I just tested positive for — I got the ‘rona.”
King added that another test would be administered to make sure she wasn’t given a false positive. “We’re gonna take one more just to be sure, but, in the meantime, I’ve been asked to leave the building and go home.”
While King was wearing a mask, she interacted with CBS crew members and even anchorNate Burleson, 40.
King was then asked to leave the building as she was filming. “Shawna is like ‘Gayle, leave the building,'” she says. “I’m leaving. I’m leaving. I’m leaving.”
Before ending the video, King added, “It finally happened to me. I’m double vaccinated and boosted. Go figure.”
Just a few weeks ago, King was diagnosed with tendonitis. She shared the diagnosis, directly from Dr. Nadia Levy, on Instagram.
“Achilles tendonitis,” Levy explained for King’s followers. “And she’s going to have to be in a boot just to calm it down and on some anti-inflammatories.”
