Rachel Maddow, the most-watched anchor on the MSNBC lineup, will come off the air for a period of time after a close contact tested positive for coronavirus.
Ive tested negative thus far, but will be at home quarantining til its safe for me to be back at work without putting anyone at risk, Maddow said in a message posted Friday on social media. MSBNC declined to elaborate on the statement.
Maddows 9 p.m. weeknight berth is the linchpin of the MSNBC primetime lineup, and she has had a key role in the cable news outlets coverage of the 2020 election. She has been anchoring hours of programming along with Brian Williams, Nicolle Wallace and Joy Reid.

It's unthinkable that we won't be able to have her on air when the results become final.
I hope it is mild if she gets it.
