“After 10 days of ups and downs, feeling good one day and terrible the next, I am now working toward getting my son, Mario, through the virus,” she captioned the post. “My heart hurts more than my head over his infection. This virus does not discriminate. While kids are more resilient, they can suffer same severity of symptoms.”
Earlier this week, the “Cuomo Prime Time” host, who is the younger brother of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, announced on his show that he and Cristina were cleared to leave quarantine. Chris, 49, has been hosting the show from his basement since he was diagnosed with the virus in late March.
