McLachlan said he hadnt been tested for coronavirus in weeks but his health revelation came on the day Victoria recorded a whopping 288 new cases of the deadly virus.
It comes days after AFL360 host Mark Robinson was forced to undergo a COVID-19 test after his on-air cough.
Robinson and Whateley laughed off the cough at the time, but by Tuesday, Whateley was forced to host the show with fill-in Nick Riewoldt as he confirmed Robinson was sent away for a coronavirus test.
