Derek Hough woke up this morning and found out that he tested positive for COVID-19 even though he is fully vaccinated. That means, he most likely will not be at the judges’ table for the Dancing with the Stars finale on Monday. So that meaNs he will probably do it from home.
I hope that the dancer didn’t infect any of the other judges because Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli are over 65 and Carrie Ann Inaba has an autoimmune disease. Even though she had it back in March, it is still risky for her to get it again.
Back to Hough, he has been traveling back and forth between LA and Las Vegas doing shows in Sin City, so that is probably where he got it. This was supposed to be his final week of shows, but now they are postponed because of coronavirus.
Hough is not the first person to test positive for COVID this season. Cheryl Burke was first and then her partner Cody Rigsby was diagnosed a few days later. Hough missed the week that Rigsby and Burke competed from their homes because he was exposed to it in Vegas.
