NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- First it was Chris Cuomo, then Brooke Baldwin, now it's Richard Quest who has tested positive for coronavirus.
Quest, the host of CNN International's "Quest on Business" who also appears regularly on stateside CNN, announced his diagnosis on his show.
"I am thankful and grateful that I don't seem to have any of the horrific symptoms of the others," Quest said. "I just have a nasty cough which, thankfully tonight because of our excellent technical staff, you haven't heard me too much spluttering away."
Quest told viewers he will continue to work but will "take it easy if it all gets too much."
He continued, "I feel fine. I feel good. And there are important things that you and I need to talk about overnight. such as negative oil, and the way the markets are going down and what still needs to be done."
He also took to Twitter Monday, writing, "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. Stay in. And protect lives."
