Oprah Winfrey Reveals She Didn’t Leave Her Home For 322 Days Out Of Fear Of Contracting COVID-19

It’s safe to say, Oprah Winfrey wasn’t playing around when it came to Covid!

While it’s been two years since the world was on lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many still recall the difficulty faced with being locked in their homes with no certainty of when things would return back to normal.

Oprah begins by sharing she was thankful to not have lost any loved ones due to Covid-19 and that her friends make fun of her for going to great lengths to not catch the disease.

“I haven’t lost anybody in my family so I’ve been very fortunate. My dealing with it comes from hearing of other friends, and other people who have experienced it. My empathy and understanding of what that must be like to go through that is how I have been relating.”

She continued,

“I’ve been so careful with myself that my own friends make fun of me. I didn’t leave home for 322 days — literally did not leave the house. So it has not been for me personally a heavy burden to bear.”
