Gayle King has tested positive for COVID-19. On Monday, the 67-year-old CBS Mornings anchor revealed her diagnosis. 'OK, the thing I've been dreading has finally happened,' King said in a video posted to Instagram. 'I just tested positive for...I got the Rona. They run a test, another test, we're going to take one more just to be sure. But in the meantime, I've been asked to leave the building and go home.'  King's video was slightly interrupted by her co-anchor, Nate Burleson, who popped in to ask, 'You good?' Showing the precautions that CBS Mornings is taking, Burleson was advised to keep walking because he didn't have a mask on as he approached King, who was masked.
