CNN anchor Chris Cuomo on Tuesday revealed that he has tested positive for coronavirus. The 49-year-old journalist said he is quarantining in the basement of his home to protect the rest of his family and will continue to work from there.

"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 in a statement shared on Twitter. "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 Cristina. That would make me feel worse than this illness!"

Shortly after the tweet began to circulate, his older brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo addressed Chris' diagnosis in his daily press briefing.
