George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday said he has been “cleared” of COVID-19 after testing positive for antibodies last week, adding that he plans to donate his blood plasma.
“Good news for me and my family. Last week I tested positive for Covid antibodies, confirming I cleared the virus after weeks without symptoms,” the 59-year-old co-host of ABC’s “Good Morning America” said in a tweet.
“I’ve also signed up for a clinical trial to donate my blood plasma and expect to make the donation in the coming weeks,” he added.
Stephanopoulos’ announcement comes after he said last week that he had tested positive for the disease after his wife Ali Wentworth contracted it.
The newsman, who ticked off Hampton residents by going out in public after her diagnosis, was spotted by The Post on Monday as he took a stroll in East Hampton without his mask on.
“For somebody who reports on the pandemic every day, and is broadcasting guidelines about safe social distancing, George didn’t really seem to care,” a witness said.
“He tested positive, his wife tested positive, why can’t he follow the local mandates to wear a mask in public, why can’t he just stay home?” he said.
On April 10, he was spotted visiting local drugstore White’s Apothecary and then walking his pooch on a private golf course prior to his diagnosis, according to a neighbor.
“I was staying home, I was self-monitoring, I never had a temperature, and I never had any of the classic symptoms,” Stephanopoulos told The New York Times about his visit to the pharmacy.
“I was wearing a mask and gloves in White’s,” he added.
