Robin joins the growing list of TV personalities who are broadcasting from their own homes amid the rising threat of COVID-19 or the Coronavirus. The 59-year-old newscaster created a makeshift screening room on her basement, making sure to continue bringing her viewers with news they can trust.

BROADCASTING NEWS FROM AT HOME

Just like Roberts, her co-host, chief meteorologist Ginger Zee, has been providing viewers with weather reports from her home as well, after two members at her son's school tested positive for the highly-contagious virus.

Meanwhile, TV show hosts like Wendy Williams have decided to do other preventive measures against COVID-19, such as not having a live studio audience on her show to avoid the amount of people in the room.

ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO STAY AT HOME

While co-hosts and audience participation play a huge part in talk shows, the current situation around the world makes it difficult for that to continue happening. For now, she will continue filming but will not have a live studio audience until further notice.

Celebrities and TV personalities from around the world have been encouraging their viewers to practice social distancing by staying at home to try and curb the spread of the Coronavirus. By doing so, people eliminate the risk of infecting other people.
