Behar shared on Wednesday that “Whoopi is still awake and hacking

I apologize, but you must stay with us. Behar is battling a severe illness.”

Additionally, Sunny Hostin said, “Those colds are spreading.”

In his opening remarks, Black Panther thespian Michael B. Jordan wished her well on Tuesday, her first day away. “Greetings to Whoopi. Mwah! Become greater.” Last year, Goldberg experienced some sickness.

According to an exclusive report by Entertainment Weekly, Goldberg sustained a second COVID-19 infection in November 2022, which necessitated a protracted absence from the ABC afternoon talk show.

Sara Haines co-hosted The View with Goldberg and took over as the program’s anchor. Hostin and her new co-hosts Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin joined her.

Following the Christmas vacation break, Goldberg missed a few episodes after testing positive in January 2022.

She informed her fellow co-hosts of her diagnosis via live stream, stating that she had taken a break from the show to relax after experiencing mild symptoms during the break.

Goldberg said, “It was a jolt because I’m triple-vaccinated, I haven’t been anywhere, and I haven’t done anything.

“One of those situations where you feel you have completed your duties. Yes, omicron continues to travel.”
