Support pours in for CTV reporter that became ill during live hit (VIDEO)

Support is pouring in for a CTV Edmonton reporter that “became ill” during the 6 pm news on Sunday, with many taking to Twitter to wish her well.

Jessica Robb was doing a live hit on the six o’clock news when she started to have trouble speaking and responding to anchor Nahreman Issa.

“We will come back to you. Right now, we will make sure that Jessica is doing okay,” Issa said before the feed ended, adding that Robb was not alone and was with a photog operator.

People expressed their support for Robb on Twitter, commending her composure during the incident.

I’m so glad to see and hear that you are okay!
The comments are retweets are abhorrent and so unnecessary. The anti-vax crowd will attach themselves to vulnerable moments of others to push their agenda.
Take care of yourself! 🫂
