CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has been diagnosed with Covid-19.
On Tuesday, the network sent out a memo to employees indicating that Cuomo is “feeling well” and will still anchor his nightly show, “Cuomo Prime Time,” from home.
Cuomo confirmed the diagnosis with a note on Twitter.
He opened his show Monday night to talk about the thousands of coronavirus-related deaths and the “very confusing times” we’re currently living through.
Cuomo also implored people to “stay home.”
“We’ve got a long way to go. You’ve got to take this seriously, please,” he said.
Just last week, Cuomo was seen at CNN’s offices in New York City. He is the third reported case at the network’s workspace.
“CNN has implemented sweeping changes in response to the pandemic. 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,” CNN reported of the network’s handling of the pandemic.
Cuomo has been making headlines during the pandemic for his occasional and lively interviews with his older brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Just one day before his diagnosis, the pair had a discussion that went viral.
