Richard Quest, English journalist and CNN International anchor, has tested positive for Covid-19.
In a video posted on CNN's YouTube Channel on Monday (April 20), the 58-year-old host of the CNN's Quest Means Business show revealed that he had contracted the virus, but did not have any of the "horrific symptoms" that other infected patients had.
As made obvious by his raspy voice, he said that he only had a bad case of cough.
"I am grateful and thankful that I don't seem to have any of the horrific symptoms of the others. I just have a nasty cough, which, thankfully tonight because of our excellent technical staff, you haven't heard me too much spluttering away."
He also thanked the medical staff helping him.
Despite being infected, he has continued with his show, insisting in the video that he felt fine. He promised that he would "take it easy" and stop working if his condition worsened.
