Dr. Ian Lipkin, director of Columbia University’s Center for Infection and Immunity known as the 'virus hunter' in the US revealed his positive diagnosis for coronavirus in an interview with the Fox Business Network published Tuesday.

"I had Covid as of yesterday and it is miserable", said Lipkin, "I know where I got it but that’s not the same as proving. But it doesn’t matter. This virus can be found all over the United States.”

"If it can hit me, it can hit anybody," he warned, noting he had taken some drugs and looked forward to their effectiveness.

Lipkin travelled China in January and met with China’s leading epidemiologist Zhong Nanshan to learn the situation of the pandamic.
