Popular radio host test positive for COVID

Popular radio host Chrissie Swan has tested positive for COVID-19.

Swan, who co-hosts Nova's Chrissy, Sam and Browny breakfast radio show in Melbourne made the announcement to her followers on Instagram.

Swan was captured at Bert Newton's funeral as one of the only people not wearing a mask inside the cathedral.

"Turns out I didn’t escape Covid after all. After feeling a bit tired and flat I took a test and it’s come back positive," Swan wrote on Instagram.

“I feel basically fine so far – the worst is the fatigue (though I think I’ve been tired for 20 years so I’m match fit).

“I’m double vaxxed, always checked in with the QR codes, have contacted EVERYONE and have isolated since yesterday afternoon so as not to spread it any further.

“I’ll be back on the airwaves soon – but from home. Update over!”

A bit selfish of you Chrissy, fancy not wearing a mask for the funeral! Wonder how many other people you infected whilst there?...

Never listen to it.

It was stupid of her not to wear a mask at the funeral.  It goes to show that we have to be careful and wear a mask at any event. I saw a concert a few weeks ago and everybody had to be double vaxxed and wore a mask throughout the concert. 

Silly twit, she should be put into the market square and have  rotten tomatoes thrown at her

People making judgments here without evidence.  At this stage the woman is not unwell, just feeling a little tired.

Before you jump to the conclusion that not wearing a mask at the gathering was a significant factor, let's wait until there's a confirmation that that is where she contracted it.  There has to be someone else who was positive at the funeral for her to have contracted it there.  Who was that?

She does appear to be overweight and that may put her in a higher risk category.  (Over 90% of those who die were both obese and diabetic.)

It is a good example to remind people that being fully vaccinated does not mean you will not contract the virus.

That's an old photo of her former self. She has gone on a strict diet, cut out alcohol altogether and walks most days. I read she has shed 90kg which is a feat in it's self, good on her. 

Agree Hola, good on her.

Never heard of her!
