Susanna Reid has revealed she is self-isolating at her London home after a member of her household developed symptoms akin to those displayed by coronavirus COVID-19 carriers.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, who featured on Monday’s edition of the show alongside Piers Morgan, will not return while she adopts the precautionary measure laid out by the World Health Organisation.
Addressing Twitter followers on Monday evening, Susanna, 49, admitted she was distancing herself from the ITV production team, her co-hosts and members of the public – despite showing no symptoms herself.

She wrote: 'I am currently well but due to the new advice today I will be self-isolating for two weeks due to symptoms in my household. Stay well everyone.'
Susanna's admission came shortly after Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Brits to work from home, stay away from bars, clubs and restaurants and avoid 'all non-essential contact' for 12-weeks.
The PM warned that the coronavirus was now in a phase of rapid spread across the UK, with London seeing a particular surge, and it was time to take radical action to stop the NHS being swamped.

Guideline: Susanna's admission came shortly after Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Brits to work from home, stay away from bars, clubs and restaurants and avoid 'all non-essential contact'
Everyone should avoid contact that is not absolutely necessary - with restaurants, bars and cinemas and travel off limits, and an end to large gatherings. Admitting that the squeeze could last 12 weeks or even longer, the PM acknowledged he was 'asking a lot'.
Entire households should self-isolate for two weeks if one person has been showing symptoms, and older people should prepare to stay away from risks for months to come. He said that meant 'you should not go out, even to buy food or essentials'.
The breakneck developments came amid growing criticism of the UK government's response, which has looked increasingly out of step with that around the globe.

Moments after Johnson's dramatic press conference, actor Idris Elba revealed he has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The actor, 47, told followers he 'feels ok' and has no symptoms but has decided to self-isolate following his exposure to COVID-19.
Posting a video on social media, the star sat next to his wife Sabrina to give fans an update on his condition.

Idris had attended the WE Day UK Charity event and concert in London last Tuesday March 3 with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, the wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
He confirmed that wife Sabrina had not yet been tested but said that she also 'feels ok' at the moment.
The Luther star added that he only got tested after coming into contact with someone who later confirmed that they had coronavirus, before quarantining himself and getting tested 'immediately'.
He received the news of his results on Monday morning.
