The 43-year-old previously announced she was taking a few weeks off work as a precautionary measure while she recovers from a chest infection. Now, The Daily Telegraph reports that Sam will be back on our TV screens this Monday.
A Sunrise spokeswoman reportedly confirmed to the publication that Sam will be returning to work on April 20, but wouldn’t comment on her illness.
Despite whispers she may have been battling coronavirus, Sam quashed rumours when she revealed she was trying to overcome a respiratory illness following the recent bushfires.
In a message posted to her Instagram Story, Sam announced she was taking a few weeks off work as a precautionary measure due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Hi all… I’m taking a few weeks off work as I’ve had a respiratory infection (for three months) since the bushfires and it just won’t heal,” Sam wrote at the time.
The TV presenter went on to say that she didn’t have coronavirus but given the COVID-19 situation she felt as though it was best to stay at home and recoup.
“I don’t have coronavirus, but I’m worried I’ll get it if I don’t get better. Thought it was a good time to lie low,” she wrote.
Sam then urged fans to take additional precautions during the pandemic, writing: “Please everyone be careful and take care of each other.”
Since taking a break from duties, Sam has remained in isolation at her partner Richard Lavender’s estate in the southern highlands with her dog, Banjo.
