ABC's Stephanopoulos positive for coronavirus but feels well

“Good Morning America” host George Stephanopoulos revealed Monday that he's tested positive for the coronavirus, but has been relatively symptom-free.

The ABC newsman 59, revealed his diagnosis on the show, telling co-host Robin Roberts, “I feel fine.”

Stephanopoulos' wife, Ali Wentworth, had come down with COVID-19 and had revealed her diagnosis nearly two weeks ago. Wentworth, 55, at one point tweeted that she had “never been sicker.” Her husband has been taking care of her, their children and doing his TV job in the interim.

He said the only potential symptoms he has felt were a lower back ache that he had attributed to a hard workout, and a briefly diminished sense of smell.

"I’ve never had a fever, never had chills, never had a headache, never had a cough, never had shortness of breath," he said on "GMA." "I’m feeling great."

The ABC News chief anchor said it was "no surprise" that he had contracted the virus because he has been caring for his wife and has been the sole person entering the room in which she's convalescing inside their New York home.

CNN host Chris Cuomo has been undergoing a public battle with the disease, continuing his show despite a rough case. But Stephanopoulos provides a new example for the television viewing public of a relatively asymptomatic case.

Stephanopoulos and Wentworth share two daughters: Elliott, 17, and Harper, 14.
