CNN anchor Chris Cuomo on Tuesday said that he has been diagnosed with Covid-19.

Chris wrote on his Twitter page, "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."

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

Cuomo said that he is "quarantined in my basement" and will "do my shows from here."

"We will all beat this by being smart and tough and united!" he concluded. 

This is the third case of coronavirus involving CNN's workspace in New York City. Employees were notified of another case in mid-March.

Like other media companies, 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.
