Ok #boocrew, we've got an update for you on what comes next for @CodyRigsby and me on @DancingABC ! #dwts pic.twitter.com/nCsZIptoQr
Rigsby, who is fully vaccinated, did not attend last Monday night's taping of \"Dancing With the Stars\" because he and Burke had been in close contact prior to her positive test. Instead of grading a performance, judges evaluated rehearsal footage of Rigsby and Burke dancing the salsa to Camila Cabello's song, \"Don't Go Yet.\" They earned a score of 24/40.
\"I'm just grateful that I got vaccinated [because] I know it could have been way worse,\" Burke said at the time. \"And I'm proud of Cody. He worked so hard this week. I just hope to be back soon in the ballroom.\"
\"You need to ride the wave and pivot,\" Rigsby added. \"That's what we did.\"
The vaccines for COVID-19 are effective but no vaccine is able to prevent illness 100% of the time, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There is evidence indicating that those who are vaccinated may develop less severe cases than those who are not, and the risk of infection, hospitalization and death are all considerably lower in those who are vaccinated, the organization reported.
