ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit said he came in contact with the coronavirus and will call Saturday night’s Florida State-Miami game from his home in Nashville as a precautionary measure.
Herbstreit detailed his condition in a video posted via Twitter, saying he tested negative twice in the past week after being in contact with someone who contracted COVID-19.
“I think it’s a time to take an abundance of caution, follow the protocols and do what we need to do,” Herbstreit said in the video. “All is well.”
Hey guys-wanted to update you on this weekend. I came in contact with the virus this week while in Nashville, so because of that, I’ll be on @CollegeGameDay and calling FSU-Miami from home. Tested negative, trying to be as safe as possible. See you tomorrow-let’s enjoy some CFB! pic.twitter.com/bXuhpwjaMj
