Andy Cohen is opening up about the symptoms he experienced after testing positive for the coronavirus.

The host of Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” told “Today’s” Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb on Tuesday that his symptoms were “lingering.”

“I’m asthmatic, but the tightness that I felt in my chest was different from the shortness of breath that I feel as an asthmatic,” Cohen, 51, said.

“It was a low fever. It was no sense of smell or taste. Really achy throughout my body — just persistent aches that wouldn’t go away,” he added. “Kind of a dry cough, not horrible but there. It took about 11 days, I would say, or 12 days, to work its way through my system.”

Cohen returned to his Bravo show on Monday night, broadcasting remotely from his home, where he was self-quarantining for two weeks.

The TV personality and dad to year-old Benjamin said he now feels “strong.”

“I’m solidly at 90 percent,” he told NBC’s “Today” co-hosts. “It’s good.”
