Al Roker has returned to the Today Show after missing a few days due to a COVID-19 diagnosis.
The celebrity had revealed on September 30 that he had tested positive, and he had used Instagram to explain why he had missed the Today segment on Storm Ian.
He insisted that he had just gotten his booster shot and that he hadn’t had many symptoms. Much to his and his fans’ happiness, he is returning to work and will soon be seen on viewers’ televisions.
Al shared a photo of his test sitting on a coffee mug on Instagram once more to share the good news of his negative findings. He commented, “Nice way to start the week with a negative test.”
The actor continued: “And yes, even with the boost, I did get it. Also, yes, all I had was a runny nose and a cough for one day. SCIENCE!! ”
He captioned the photo, “See you this morning on @Todayshow,” indicating that he could not wait to get back to work with his coworkers.
Savannah Guthrie, who played him on-screen, immediately tweeted her delight at his comeback, writing: “Boom!!” Yay! “Let’s go! “exclaimed other followers. I’m very happy, “and” exactly!” Glad you’re well, good to have you again, and another admirer chimed in with: “Thanks for being responsible.”
He wrote: “I just wanted to let you know what you might have heard on the Today Show this morning. The reason I haven’t been part of the hurricane Ian coverage, I tested positive for COVID.” in his initial post outlining his diagnosis and symptoms.
Days after he initially disclosed his illness, his wife, Deborah Roberts, gave followers an update on how he was doing. She said that they had begun to distance themselves from one another at home and that, despite their surprise at his positive test results, he was doing well.
