NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — CNN anchor Chris Cuomo no longer has the coronavirus and says he has tested positive for antibodies.
"I tested negative — I don’t have the virus,” the youger brother of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on his broadcast Monday night. "I have both antibodies, the short-term one and the long-term one.”
He then speculated whether or not that will provide any protection against future reinfection.
“The World Health Organization issued a warning, saying, ‘chill out with these immunity passports. We don’t know what the antibodies mean, if they mean anything,'” the 49-year-old Cuomo said.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s chief medical correspondent, told Cuomo that "presumably" he will have some sort of protection against the virus.
“The thing is that we need to prove it out and that takes some time to actually show that these antibodies are going to actually protect you," Gupta said.
