BREAKING: 'The View' Makes Sudden Announcement After Co-Host Forced Off Air

On Tuesday, ABC's 'The View' made a sudden announcement after the show began with one of their co-hosts off the air in a surprising turn of events.

Co-host Joy Behar announced the news that her fellow co-star, Whoopi Goldberg, has tested positive for Covid-19 leading her to be absent for the Tuesday show and likely multiple shows this week. During the announcement, the audience audibly groaned when the news broke.

"As you can see, Whoopi is not here. She has Covid. Yes, it's back," Behar said. "But she is on the end, she's on the tail end and she will probably be back this week but sorry she's not here for those of you who were looking forward to seeing her."

The news of the positive test comes just one day after First Lady Jill Biden, who is vaccinated and boosted, tested positive for the disease. Biden is currently suffering "mild symptoms" and will be “monitored by the White House medical team," per CNN.

Covid-19 is once again on the rise across the country as two new varients of the disease spread promptimg some businesses and colleges to reintroduce mask mandates. This, however, has been met with considerable pushback as many Americans fear the return of pandemic lockdown policies.
