This is what we know about her diagnosis, and how this will affect the show.
Cheryl Burke Tests Positive For Covid Eve Before Dancing With The Stars Elimination
On Sunday, Dancing With The Stars pro Cheryl Burke announced that she tested positive for Covid, despite being fully vaccinated.
Before confirming that she has the virus, she made a video from her car. There, the two-time winning DWTS pro shared the news. “Unfortunately, I am on my way to take a COVID test, because not only do I feel scared and at a loss for words, I feel run down a little bit.”
After she was tested, she shared the surprising news. “I have really bad news. I am positive, which means I have Covid.” Her wet eyes indicated that she was quite emotional about this news.
A fierce competitor, she certainly doesn’t want to let her partner, Cody, down. Worse of all, she is not feeling well. Nor does she want to get anyone else sick. “I feel so bad. I feel so bad for Cody, I feel like I’m letting him down. I just feel like s**t and it’s so overwhelming.”
Cheryl Burke saw this ask urgent situation. “It’s Sunday and the show’s tomorrow… I just hope I didn’t spread it.” Moreover, she made sure that Covid deniers understood how serious this situation is. “For those of you who don’t think Covid is a real thing, it’s f**king real. I have to quarantine for 10 days, I’ve been ordered to stay home.”
Sound like a nightmare situation. Burke cannot even believe she is in the midst of this mess. “I can’t believe this happened.”
