CNN

The Cuomo Prime Time host announced his diagnosis on Twitter this morning, and said he's feeling well enough to continue anchoring his show from home, which he did last night for the first time when he interviewed his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Chris Cuomo, the third CNN employee to test positive for coronavirus, was last at CNN's headquarters on Friday. "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," he wrote. "I have been exposed to people in recent days who have subsequently tested positive and I had fevers, chills and shortness of breath.  just hope I didn't give it to the kids and Cristina. That would make me feel worse than this illness!" Gov. Cuomo mentioned his brother's positive test at New York state's daily briefing on Tuesday. "This virus is the great equalizer," the governor said. "My brother, Chris, is positive for coronavirus. Found out this morning." Andrew Cuomo added: "He's young; in good shape; strong -- not as strong as he thinks, but -- he'll be fine."
