CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
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.
