Steffen Hallaschka (48) did not lead the RTL program "stern TV" on Wednesday evening, but Nazan Eckes (44). The reason: The 48-year-old is in quarantine. The moderator said from home on the show, "I can't be there due to government orders." He had "a so-called risk contact in the past week" when he was in a room with a corona-infected person.
Steffen Hallaschka further said that he received improvement requests via social media and explained: "Guys, I'm fine. I'm not sick." In the meantime, he had a first test done and "fortunately it was negative". For him that was also "a proof that all the precautionary measures that I naturally take at work and in my private life are really fruitful: mouth-nose protection, distance, everything helps enormously. And of course this episode also reminds me of that that this pandemic is far from over ".
What's next?
The first test result is a "certain reassurance" for him and his family, according to the moderator, but it doesn't change anything at first: The health authority alone decides "when they release me from quarantine. There are usually two negative test results in one a certain amount of time is necessary. And I hope that I will get a second negative test result and hopefully I will be released from quarantine for the next show on Wednesday, we have to wait and see. "
