Chris Cuomo Has Coronavirus

CNN primetime news anchor Chris Cuomo has tested positive for the new coronavirus.

Cuomo, who’s received attention for interviewing his brother, New York State governor Andrew Cuomo, about the battle against the pandemic, said in a post on Twitter that he will continue recording his nightly news show from his basement.

In a statement, CNN said Cuomo’s symptoms are mild.

“I have been exposed to people in recent days who have subsequently tested positive and I had fevers, chills and shortness of breath,” Cuomo wrote. “I just hope I didn’t give it to the kids and Christina. That would make me feel worse than this illness!”

Cuomo represents the third known case of coronavirus at CNN in New York City, the company said. Another case was announced to employees in the middle of March.

“CNN has implemented sweeping changes in response to the pandemic,” the network said. “The vast majority of CNN employees have been working from home for several weeks. Anchors have been broadcasting from small studios and home offices. And office spaces are being regularly cleaned.”
