Masks, hydroalcoholic gel, distancing and barrier gestures… All this is now part of our daily lives. And it has also become systematic on television sets. The chains, who do not wish to relive a stoppage of filming as during the first lockdown, are competing in ingenuity to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Koh Lanta, Love is in the meadow, the 2021 show of the Enfoirés, or Top chef, all broadcasts had to adapt to the pandemic. And TV news is no exception.
From February 1, 2021, the 20 Heures de France 2 had to find replacements for Anne-Sophie Lapix. Discarded from the air after testing positive for Covid-19 a few days earlier – as revealed The Parisian – the presenter had therefore given way to her new joker Karine Baste-Régis.
“I am very well"
Our colleagues then specified that the diagnosis was “without serious impact on his state of health ”, and that the journalist was asymptomatic. Something to reassure the fans a little, but not enough. Since the article of Parisian, Anne-Sophie Lapix receives many get well messages (and many questions) in the comments of her Instagram posts. Thursday February 4, 2021, the star of France 2 shared a snapshot of his breakfast with his 31,000 subscribers on the social network. “The morning scam ", she captioned the image of a toast of buttered bread, full of holes. If some internet users sympathized with his dismay, others took the opportunity to ask him about his state of health.
“I see you haven't lost your sense of humor! What about smell? ", asks one fan in the comments. Anne-Sophie Lapix responded in just a few minutes. “Still zero symptoms, I'm varnished! ”, she reassured. And when another of her subscribers asks her if she's going "better", the journalist is formal: “I am very well, thank you so much." Several of his famous friends also commented on the post, humorously. “This is to make room for the holes in the Gruyère ", laughed Thomas Sotto. “No chocolatine? ”, protested footballer Bixente Lizarazu, originally from the South West. Anthony Delon settled for a laughing emoji.
