While the 55-year-old comedian said she experienced “horrific” symptoms, Stephanopoulos, 59, says he hasn’t had “any of the classic symptoms you’ve been reading about.” “I’ve never had a fever, never had a cough, never had shortness of breath, never had chills,” he told co-anchor, Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan, noting that he feels “great.”
Stephanopoulos said it wasn’t a shock to him that he tested positive for the virus. While Wentworth self-isolated in a separate room of their home, Stephanopoulos, who shares two daughters with Wentworth, has been his wife’s caregiver throughout her battle with COVID-19.
Stephanopoulos has been broadcasting from home after Wentworth developed symptoms. Despite his diagnosis, he says he feels “great.”
As CNN reports, Covid-19 has infected more than 1.85 million people and killed at least 114,000 worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University. At least 22,116 people have died in the US from coronavirus.
The news site notes that totals includes cases from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and other U.S. territories, as well as all repatriated cases. However, Wyoming is the only state or territory that is not reporting a death from coronavirus.
Johns Hopkins has reported 363 new cases and 37 reported deaths as of this Monday morning.
