The program was among the first directly affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television on March 11, 2020 (the day where the coronavirus was declared a pandemic); as the CBS Broadcast Center (and thus, the "Inside Edition" newsroom and studio) was closed after building personnel tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019. For the first week after, Deborah Norville originated the program from her home kitchen and subsequently later shot remotely from her home, with contributions from the Los Angeles newsroom before being able to establish a dedicated virtual home studio with the entire staff working from home, as the Los Angeles base was also affected by a stay-at-home order.
