But I’ve had an interesting couple of weeks.”

The 54-year-old Burke added that she was having lunch with broadcast partner Ryan Ruocco and their crew on March 11 when she remarked how tired she was and that her head was “pounding.”

Burke said she took the test later that week, and it took several days before she received her test results from the Department of Health.

“So the delay of the test results allowed me to wrap my mind around the idea that I did have this,” said Burke, the 2018 Curt Gowdy Media Award winner for the Basketball Hall of Fame. “I basically was in my own bedroom, by myself, for two weeks away from my daughter and her fiance.

“My daughter was the one cooking me meals, bringing me everything, and we’re gonna continue the social distance. I am out of my room now, thank God.”
