Chris Cuomo revealed that he had tested positive for COVID-19 in late March, and the news anchor proceeded to self-isolate in his basement for three weeks following his diagnosis.
Unfortunately, he recently revealed that his wife, Cristina, has also tested positive for the coronavirus. Talking to his brother, Governor Andrew Cuomo on CNN, Chris opened up about his wife’s health, saying, “Cristina now has COVID, she is now positive, and it just breaks my heart. It is the one thing I was hoping wouldn’t happen, and now it has.”

Cristina has opened up about her diagnosis herself on Instagram.
Cristina Cuomo opened up about the struggles of both parents testing positive for coronavirus and how difficult it is to be away from their children in a recent post.
In a lengthy caption, she wrote, "You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice. Covid-19 got me. A seemingly sinus-related infection was my first symptom."
She also mentioned the position this put their children in: "Bella, Mario and Carolina have grown up overnight—Bella, our 17-year-old daughter, stepped up cleaning, doing laundry, cooking for her siblings and getting them situated with google classroom, and caregiving her mother and father. Mario, her assistant."
"So much gratitude for them. I can’t wait to wrap my arms around them again," she continued.
Cristina also encouraged communication during this difficult time: "Communication is all we’ve got right now. Please keep sharing your stories. It’s the only way we achieve freedom from fear. Staying strong is the battle."
Since her diagnosis, however, it seems that Cristina is feeling much better. During Monday's Cuomo Prime Time, Chris made a huge announcement: "We had a huge day today in Casa Cuomo. My wife. She was cleared by the CDC. She doesn't have fever. She doesn't have the symptoms anymore."
