Whoopi Goldberg tested positive for Covid-19.

Whoopi Goldberg tested positive for Covid-19.

This was revealed this Monday by her partner on the program "The View," Joy Behar.

"Why am I here instead of Whoopi?" Wrote co-host Behar on social media.

"Whoopi, unfortunately, tasted positive over the holidays, but will probably be back next week.

Symptoms have been very, very mild, but we are being cautious in The View."

This Monday's show, which was held virtually from the driver's home, featured drivers Sunny Hostin

and Sara Haines, while no one was hired to replace Goldberg.

Additionally, the show hosts shared how Covid-19 and the Omicron variant disrupted

their winter vacation plans.

Anna Navarro said her idea of hosting more than 20 members of her family for the holidays and her birthday

had to change when her father tested positive.

Haines added that after taking a pre-vacation trip with her two older

children to Florida and "doing well," she returned home with a "husband who tested positive

for Covid."

After Haines and her children were quarantined at home, she tested negative four times, and her

husband is now virus-free.

For her part, Behar said she had a "pretty decent size" Christmas party planned

But decided to cancel it as a precaution.

Meanwhile, Hostin, who lost her two in-laws to Covid-19 in late 2020 and early 2021, spoke about

her "sad" vacation after testing positive and having to spend Christmas and New Year online

with her husband ad Children.

In addition, his mother also tested positive.

"I am very grateful to have been vaccinated and boosted because I only had symptoms similar

to those of a cold," she shared. "But I didn't feel very good."
