COVID sidelined two Miami anchors. One is back at work, the other still quarantining
Back in the saddle, er, anchor seat.
After 12 days, WSVN 7’s Craig Stevens tested negative after a “mild” case of COVID-19, he announced on Facebook Tuesday.
The newsman also showed a picture of himself smiling at his Miami Shores home doing DIY projects while quarantining.
“Mild covid wreaks havoc on holiday travel plans (‘mild’ as in a day and a half of sniffles) what’s a guy to do? Repaint the garage floor! Put down fresh mulch in the backyard,” Stevens wrote. “Thank you Moderna for keeping it easily manageable.”
As for coworker and deskmate Belkys Nerey? Not so fortunate. On Thursday, the reporting vet announced she also had coronavirus, despite being double vaxxed and boosted.
On Instagram, Nerey posted a pic of her masked husband Demetri Mouratis taking care of her at home while social distancing with a stick:
“When you have Covid but he doesn’t.”
Even worse: It seems that the foodie, who also hosts a cooking show on the same network called “Bites with Belkys,” is experiencing a common COVID side effect: loss of taste.
Luckily, we hear that’s temporary. TikTokers recommend burnt orange. Worth a try?
Nerey told the Miami Herald Thursday that she was doing OK: “I’m good. Mild symptoms.”
