“Now we’re really socially distancing, aren’t we,” a smiling Guthrie told co-host Hoda Kotb, who had said she “felt a little lonely” as she sat alone in NBC’s Studio 1A.

“Here’s what happened: I wasn’t feeling my best — a little sore throat, some sniffles,” Guthrie, 48, said, with a blue backdrop; only the boxy acoustics gave away that she wasn’t in a studio.

“I wouldn’t have thought anything of it but we are in different times, aren’t we,” she said as she opened the morning show, which previously confirmed a staffer had tested positive for coronavirus.

Guthrie said the decision to work from home was “in an abundance of caution” — but also helped “really model the vigilance the CDC is asking of all of us right now.”

As Kotb said she missed her “partner in crime,” Guthrie, said as they appeared side-by-side on split-screen, “We’re still together and we’re going to get this show on the air.”

Al Roker and Craig Melvin had on Monday revealed they would be skipping the studio after a staffer had tested positive for coronavirus.

Earlier this month, NBC made the decision to abandon live audiences for “Today” tapings.
