One of her co-hosts on the program, Carrie Ann Inaba, said last week that she tested positive in an Instagram post, saying she suffered ‘lots of aches and pains’ and a coughing fever ahead of the test, which sidelined her from the CBS show for a week.
Sheryl Underwood said during the broadcast Thursday, ‘As you can see, Carrie Ann is not here with us today … she found out this morning that she tested positive for COVID-19.
‘Obviously, our thoughts are with her, we love her, and we’re praying for a full recovery. And, out of an abundance of caution, Mrs. O will be doing the show from home today, even though she tested negative for the coronavirus.’
Sharon said on the show, ‘I send all my love and prayers to Carrie Ann.’

Trying year: In January, Ozzy Osbourne said that he was living with Parkinson’s disease
The ailments come as the talk show has concluded its production for the remainder of 2020.
The show is slated to undergo some personnel changes, with Eve and Marie Osmond leaving, with incoming replacements Elaine Welteroth and Amanda Kloots (who lost her husband Nick Cordero at 42 to coronavirus complications this past July).
In January, Ozzy Osbourne, 72, said on Good Morning America that he was living with Parkinson’s disease.
‘I’m not good at secrets. I cannot walk around with it anymore,’ he said. ‘I feel better now of owning up to the fact that I have a case of Parkinson’s.’
Speaking with GQ last month, Ozzy said his preexisting conditions: ‘I’ve got emphysema, so if I get this virus, I’m f****d.’
