Pregnant Savannah Guthrie won’t cover Olympics due to zika

This morning on the Today show, Savannah Guthrie made a set of big announcements. First, viewers learned that her little daughter, Vale, is going to be a big sister! Watch:

Next, she shared that she will not be traveling to Brazil to cover the Olympics this year because she does not want to risk being exposed to the Zika virus, which causes major birth defects.

She’s not alone, either. Other NBC personalities have expressed concern over traveling to Rio, as have some athletes.
