The 51-year-old appeared at the beginning of the show alongside Sheinelle Jones, who stood in for regular host Hoda Kotb.
Savannah, who was feeling under the weather, left the studio before 7.30am after taking a coronavirus test during the broadcast. See the moment Sheinelle revealed Savannah's absence in the video below...

Towards the end of the show, Sheinelle gave an update, telling viewers: "By the way, it has been an interesting morning for us. As we said, Savannah left early, she wasn't feeling great, so she took a Covid test.
"It came back positive. So, of course, as soon as we found out, she rushed home to rest up. So Savannah, we love you, wishing you a speedy recovery."

While she hasn't explained the reason behind her absence, the presenter has been fairly active on her social media pages.
On Monday, she shared a photo of a piece of wall art showing a cluster of clouds alongside the words: "Choose hope". Fans were quick to express their concern in the comments section, with one person writing: "Today show just isn’t the same without you! I hope you’re ok, but boy if they are letting you go. People are going to drop like flys watching Today. We Love Hoda!" while another added: "I miss you on the show. It’s just not the same."
A third person commented: "Missing you. TODAY show is not the same without you."
