NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Cuomo, who late last month revealed he had tested positive for the coronavirus, said his wife Cristina has now also been infected.
The CNN anchor made the announcement on the network Wednesday night during an interview with his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
“Cristina now has COVID(-19). She is now positive. And it just breaks my heart,” Chris Cuomo said. “It is the one thing I was hoping wouldn’t happen, and now it has.”
Cuomo has continued to appear on air and has documented his health struggles with the coronavirus. He had quarantined himself at home in Long Island, New York, and said he was staying in the basement to make sure his wife and children did not get it.
Once it is in your house…
I hope her course of covid is mild.
There’s only so much social distancing you can do in a closed space. Need hospital-grade ventilation and precautions. Fingers crossed for them.
Was she tested prior or right after his diagnosis as well as recently? Is it just an assumption she got it from exposure to him?
Sorry to hear this unfortunate news. Chris seems like a good guy. I wouldn’t really want to wish this on anyone ( OK maybe there’s ONE orange person I would wish it on…but I digress… )
Yes, she was tested right after he tested positive.
