CNN International anchor, Richard Quest, has contracted the coronavirus (COVID-19).
Mr Quest revealed this in a tweet on Monday, where he, however, said he has only a few symptoms of the disease.
According to Quest, he would reserve his prayers and thoughts for those who have harsher symptoms of COVID-19 as he called on people to stay safe.
“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,” he wrote.
Quest was in Lagos in February where he met the founder of Heirs Holdings, Tony Elumelu.
CNN’s Chris Cuomo and Brooke Baldwin had also tested positive for COVID-19.
All of them are based in New York in the US which already has a death rate of 12, 654 from COVID-19.
More than 40, 000 people have died of the pandemic in the US.
