CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin said Friday she tested positive for the coronavirus after suddenly experiencing flu-like symptoms.
“I am OKAY,” she wrote on social media. “I’ve been social distancing. Doing ALL the things we’re being told to do. Still — it got me.”
Baldwin is the second CNN anchor to contract the virus. Chris Cuomo said Tuesday he began feeling sick after being “exposed to people in recent days who have subsequently tested positive.”
Cuomo has been quarantined in his basement in New York City and filming his show from there.
According to her statement, Baldwin is taking time off to recover.
“I look forward to being back on [TV] and seeing you real soon,” she said.
