Michael Strahan Just Dropped This MAJOR Bombshell About His Health Status

Viewers had a chance to hear about his condition from Strahan himself on Wednesday, February 3, when the show shared a short video directly from the 49-year-old. In the clip, the GMA host reminded fans, "You don't want COVID."

He added, "You don't want to have to go through everything that it brings with it."

It sounds like the worst of the symptoms have passed for Strahan, as he explained in the video that he was feeling "a lot better" now, almost a full week after his diagnosis was first announced.

Strahan explained, "I do feel a lot better, and I'm just thankful to be on the side of it that I am."

Although Strahan is grateful to be feeling better after his diagnosis, he explained that there are other factors to testing positive that are still difficult. Specifically, staying isolated has posed a problem for the TV personality's "sanity."

He explained, "I miss work. For my own sanity, I've got to get out of this house."

Despite feeling ready to rejoin the world, Strahan is sticking to health guidelines (including isolation protocols) until he gets the all clear from medical professionals.

In the meantime, he is encouraging fans to do their part in stopping the spread. "I just want to say make sure you take care of yourself; wear your mask, wash your hands, use your wipes," he explained. "I did all those things, but it just goes to show me it takes more than just you, the individual. Everybody has to do it."
