A moment later, Naherman Issie tells the host that “I don’t feel very well and soon…” – . However, she is unable to finish the sentence, and her condition is clearly deteriorating. Robb’s eyes begin to roll uncontrollably, her face turns pale, and she begins to lose her balance. At this point, the broadcast returns to the studio.

Statement from the station and Robb
On January 9, CTV reported on Twitter that “Jessica Robb is feeling better now and is resting.” The content of the short entry also included thanks to everyone who showed interest in the reporter’s health.
The day after the incident, Jessica Robb posted her own statement on the CTV profile. “Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me with supportive messages (…). I am overwhelmed. While I can’t relate to all the messages, please know that I have seen them all and appreciate each and every one of them,” Robb thanked viewers for their concern.
