Heidi Klum took to Instagram on Friday (March 13) to reveal why she's been missing from her America's Got Talent judge's chair.
While lying in bed, the 46-year-old model recorded a video sharing that she is “not feeling good” and chose to “stay home to not infect any other people.”
“It started all with a chill, feeling feverish, cough, runny nose,” Klum said of her symptoms before adding that she hopes "it's just a cold."
As fans know, the judge reportedly left the AGT set on Tuesday (March 10) after experiencing cold-like symptoms. Heidi also skipped Wednesday’s taping out of caution given the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
“I would love to do the corona test but there just isn’t one here,” she shared on Friday. “I’ve tried with two different doctors and I just can’t get one.” The supermodel then encouraged her followers to "stay safe" and to "stay home if you don't feel good."

"Effective immediately, we will refrain from filming in front of live audiences for our current productions America's Got Talent and Family Feud."
