When I first heard this is was very surprised. My local broadcaster in Southampton seems to have no end of different presenters of the news, weather and local affairs.
If they had a couple off for whatever reason no one would notice. Plenty more to call on.
As usual Covid is being used as an excuse to cut services, put people out of a job and anything else they can think of. The BBC is no exception.
