Chris Cuomo<\/strong> has tested positive for coronavirus. <\/p>\n

The CNN anchor announced the news via Twitter on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“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,” he wrote in a note shared to the social network. “I have been exposed to people in recent days who have subsequently tested positive and I had fever, chills and shortness of breath. I just hope I didn’t give it to the kids and [my wife] Cristina<\/strong>. That would make me feel worse than this illness! I am quarantined in my basement (which actually makes the rest of the family seem pleased!) I will do my shows from here. We will all beat this by being smart and tough and united!”<\/p>\n

Andrew Cuomo<\/strong> then spoke about Chris’ diagnosis at a press conference in New York and reassured the public that his brother “is going to be fine.”<\/p>\n

“He’s young, in good shape, strong\u2014not as strong as he thinks\u2014but he will be fine,” the Governor of New York said. “But there’s a lesson in this: He’s an essential worker, member of the press. So, he’s been out there. If you go out there, the chance that you get infected is very high.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While Andrew acknowledged many people recognize his sibling as the host of Cuomo Prime Time<\/em>, he also said they only see “one dimension” of him.<\/p>\n

“In his job, he’s combative, and he is argumentative, and he is pushing people,” he continued. “But that’s his job. That’s not really who he is. He is really a sweet, beautiful guy, and he is my best friend.”<\/p>\n

Andrew then looked back at Chris’ career path and told the story of how he became a lawyer after their father “forcefully” suggested it. He said Chris went to law school but “never really had a desire to practice law.” At age 26, Chris called his brother and told him he didn’t want to be a lawyer anymore and wanted to become a journalist. However, Andrew, said it was “too late.” Still, Chris remained determined. He quit his job at a law firm and took a job at Fox. He then continued to work his way up the career ladder and eventually landed his job at CNN, where Andrew said he “does a beautiful job.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Andrew also told viewers his brother is “funny as heck.”<\/p>\n

“He says to me even the dogs won’t come downstairs,” he added. <\/p>\n

All jokes aside, he reiterated that Chris is concerned about his wife and kids and applauded him for being smart by practicing social distancing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
