CNN anchor Chris Cuomo says he tested positive for coronavirus

As coronavirus continues to spread across the United States, CNN anchor and brother of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday that he was diagnosed with COVID-19 and quarantined in his home’s basement. “I will do my shows from here,” he wrote in a statement. “We will all beat this by being smart and tough and united.”

Chris said on Twitter: “Sooooo in these difficult times that seem to get more difficult and complicated by the day, I just found out that I am positive for coronavirus, Cuomo said on Twitter. I have been exposed to people in recent days who have subsequently tested positive. I just hope I didn’t give it to the kids and Cristina, he wrote. That would make me feel worse than this illness!”
