CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, brother of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has tested positive for coronavirus.
“I just found out that I am positive for coronavirus. I have been exposed to people in recent days who have subsequently tested positive,” the 49-year-old Cuomo tweeted.
“I just hope I didn’t give it to the kids and Cristina,” he said, referring to his wife. “That would make me feel worse than this illness!”
Although the TV news personality said he has felt fever, chills and shortness of breath, a bleary-eyed Cuomo, saying he wanted to be a cautionary tale for his audience, anchored his CNN show from his basement, where he has self-quarantined.
Brace yourself,” Cuomo told viewers, “not for a hoax. But for the next few weeks of scary and painful realities. This is a fight. It’s going to get worse. We’re going to suffer.”
