The View pulls Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin mid-show after testing positive for COVID with Vice President Kamala Harris backstage

The Daily Beast

A producer asked Navarro and Hostin to exit the stage as Joy Behar was introducing Harris as the first guest this morning. “There seems to be something happening here that I’m not 100 percent aware of,” Behar said after returning from the show’s first break. “Can someone please apprise me of the situation?” At that point, a voice from off-camera asked Hostin and Navarro to “step off for a second.” When Behar asked if should introduce Harris as planned, one producer’s voice replied “yes” while another shouted “no!” After an abrupt commercial break, Behar explained what happened. “OK, since this is going to be a major news story any minute now, what happened is, Sunny and Ana both apparently tested positive for COVID,” she said. “No matter how hard we try, these things happen, they probably have a breakthrough case. They’re both vaccinated up the wazoo!”
