CNN’s Richard Quest announced Monday he tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
“I have caught coronavirus. I am blessed in that I have few symptoms – just a cough. I am saving my prayers and thoughts for those less fortunate,” he wrote on Twitter.
The longtime anchor added some timely advice for dealing with the pandemic: “Stay in. And protect lives.”
Quest is a familiar face to anyone interested in business news: Back in 2016, he told TheWrap, “I have covered every financial crisis since Black Monday in 1987.”
He isn’t the first from CNN’s on-air talent roster to announce he’s tested positive for the virus: Primetime anchor Chris Cuomo and afternoon anchor Brooke Baldwin also both received positive diagnoses in recent weeks.
