Good news for me and my family. Last week I tested positive for Covid antibodies, confirming I cleared the virus after weeks without symptoms. I’ve also signed up for a clinical trial to donate my blood plasma and expect to make the donation in the coming weeks

On April 13, Stephanopoulos, whose wife, actress Ali Wentworth, previously had tested positive for the virus, revealed his diagnosis on “Good Morning America.”

“I’m one of those, I guess‚ cases that are basically asymptomatic,” he said at the time. “I ... never had chills, never had a headache, never had a cough, never had shortness of breath. I’m feeling great.”
