George Stephanopoulos, the chief anchor for ABC News, announced Monday he had tested positive for the coronavirus, making him the latest high-profile broadcast journalist to become infected with the disease.
Stephanopoulos suggested he likely contracted Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, from his wife, actress and comedian Ali Wentworth, who revealed she had tested positive earlier this month.
I also learned over the weekend that my test came back positive for Covid, as well, which is really no surprise, given the fact that Ive been here for a couple of weeks, Stephanopoulos said on ABCs Good Morning America, which he co-hosts.
But Stephanopoulos added that, thus far, he is basically asymptomatic and has been feeling great despite the diagnosis. Ive never had a fever, never had chills, never had a headache, never had a cough, never had shortness of breath, he said.
