“I had to quarantine and Portia made me sleep in a different room” (via toofab)

Production on the show was shut down after the host was diagnosed with coronavirus and while Ellen didn't experience a lot of the symptoms that come with Covid, the one she did come down with really did a number on her.

"There's a lot of negative things going on, so I want to talk about something positive: my Covid test," she said on Wednesday, in front of a virtual audience."I test positive before the holidays, I'm fine now, everything's good, all clear. I want to thank everyone who reached out with kind words with support, I wish I could hug every single one of you, but that would have been dangerous and illegal, probably.

She explained she was in hair and makeup in December when her assistant ran into her dressing room and told her her test results."Then everyone around me ran away," she joked."They told [producer] Andy Lassner and when he heard he literally ran full speed off the lot. I didn't realize you could run. Just the slow walking. You left so fast you forgot your phone!"

DeGeneres said she left the studio immediately and the Covid safety team alerted anyone she had been on contact with. "I went home, I had to quarantine and Portia made me sleep in a different room, on a different bed, because she wanted the race car bed all to herself," cracked DeGeneres, before getting more serious about her symptoms.
