<p>Fox News co-host Juan Williams tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, prompting the other co-hosts of &#8220;The Five&#8221; to broadcast remotely and Williams to go into quarantine.</p>
<p>Rumors circulated about the 66-year-old Williams&#8217; diagnosis after he was not seen on Thursday&#8217;s episode &#8220;The Five,&#8221; and two sources informed <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/03/business/media/fox-news-juan-williams-coronavirus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The New York Times</a> that he had tested positive that morning at Fox News headquarters in New York City.</p>
<p>A Fox spokesperson declined to confirm whether Williams had tested positive for COVID-19, citing employee confidentiality, but Williams confirmed to <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/media/528717-fox-news-co-host-juan-williams-tests-positive-for-covid-19" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Hill</a> that he had contracted the virus and is quarantining at a hotel in Washington, D.C., to avoid spreading the illness to his wife. He added that he is experiencing &#8220;flu-like symptoms&#8221; such as chills and headaches.</p>
<p>“I’m not great but I’m not dying or anything,&#8221; Williams told <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-juan-williams-tests-positive-for-covid-19" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Daily Beast</a>. &#8220;I’m worried about myself and my family. My wife doesn’t want me to come back to the house right now. On lots of levels it’s concerning.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m just worried about my health and my family at this juncture,&#8221; he added. “You have to guard against vagrant dark thoughts. The thing is what can do for you until things get bad?&#8221;</p>
<p>“Since the start of the pandemic, Fox News Media has implemented strict company-wide protocols adhering to all CDC and state guidelines, including regular testing of all in studio on-air personalities, mask mandates and daily health assessments for all employees entering the building,&#8221; a Fox spokesperson said in a statement. &#8220;We will continue to take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of our staff, including broadcasting The Five via home studios for the foreseeable future.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The Five&#8221; had been broadcasting remotely since the widespread outbreak of the pandemic in March but had returned to in-studio filming in September, albeit with approximately seven feet between each co-host. Williams had been in-studio as recently as Wednesday, a few days after having returned from a vacation he left for on Nov. 18.</p>
<p>Since Williams&#8217; diagnosis, the show will be remote for the foreseeable future.</p>
<p>Williams and other Fox News employees have been potentially exposed to COVID-19 before, perhaps most notably in September at the first presidential debate in Cleveland, which took place days before President Donald Trump tested positive for COVID-19. Also possibly exposed at that event was Fox News anchor and debate moderator Chris Wallace, who later tested negative.</p>
<p>Williams is a routinely left-leaning voice on one of Fox News&#8217; highest-rated shows, where he often engages in heated disagreements with his more conservative co-hosts such as Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfeld. On Wednesday, Williams and Waters got into a back-and-forth over Trump&#8217;s claims about voter fraud in the 2020 election, during which Williams called Waters&#8217; support for the president&#8217;s assertions &#8220;shameful.&#8221;</p>
