Speaking on the latest episode of his Talk is Jericho podcast, which features clinical care doctor and coronvarius expert Dr. Alex Patel, Chris Jericho has revealed he tested positive for COVID-19 back in September.

"I had zero symptoms," Jericho said. "I spent my 10 days in isolation and stayed away from everybody. I didn't have a symptom, I didn't even know I had it. I went and got a test and they said I was positive. I was like, 'Really? Are you serious?'".

Jericho added that there was little chance of it being a false positive, as he went through three tests with each one showing the same result.

'Le Champion' has attracted criticism for his stance on COVID-19 throughout the ongoing global health crisis. Last week saw him invite conspiracy theorist David Weiss onto Talk is Jericho, with the coronavirus covered, while Fozzy previously performed at a biker rally linked to around 250,000 different cases between August and September last year:-

This story comes just a few days after AEW's Nick Jackson revealed his own battle with COVID-19, though he was symptomatic, losing his sense of taste and smell for more than two months on top of suffering cardio issues.
