Osbourne's announcement comes after fellow "The Talk" co-host Carrie Ann Inaba revealed that she had tested positive for COVID-19 last week. Inaba said in an Instagram post that she was experiencing "some symptoms." "I have a fever and bad cough and lots of aches and pains," she said in a series of videos.
Inaba missed the regularly scheduled taping for "The Talk" last week while Osbourne was not on set "out of an abundance of caution," co-host Sheryl Underwood said at the time. Instead, Osbourne taped the show from home.
"The Talk" has wrapped production for the year.
