After ‘melodramatic’ COVID-19 scare on ‘The View,’ Ana Navarro shuts down haters

Shortly after “The View” cohosts Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin abruptly exited the show live on air Friday because of positive COVID-19 tests, Navarro confirmed that the result of her test was “a false alarm.” On Saturday, the political pundit and frequent guest host of “The View” confirmed via Instagram that her initial coronavirus test was a false positive, this after taking three subsequent polymerase chain reaction tests while briefly quarantining to “err on the side of caution.” “Obviously, what happened yesterday was a false positive — a very public, very inopportune, very melodramatic false positive,” Navarro said in a video. Wishing you all a good day.” Navarro also had a strong message for her “haters” following the health scare, originally deemed breakthrough cases despite both panelists having been fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Everybody is getting a little cleaned up, and she’ll be out here in a second.” Television Commentary: ‘The View’ is America’s kitchen table, political squabbling included This week, with guest Jane Fonda, Tulsi Gabbard and Donald Trump Jr., “The View” showed once again why it makes for such compelling political TV. “Thank you to the team at ‘The View’ — particularly Joy and Sara — for keeping the show going.” “The View” returns Monday on ABC.
