Idris Elba
Elba revealed that he contracted the illness on March 16. “This morning I tested positive for COVID-19. I feel ok, I have no symptoms so far but have been isolated since I found out about my possible exposure to the virus,” he tweeted. “Stay home people and be pragmatic. I will keep you updated on how I’m doing 👊🏾👊🏾 No panic.”
The Luther alum also noted in a video post that he’s “doing OK.” “I didn’t have any symptoms. I got tested because I realized that I was exposed to someone who had also tested positive,” he revealed. “I found out last Friday that they tested positive, I quarantined myself and got tested immediately.”
His wife, Sabrina Dhowre Elba, revealed on March 22 that she had also tested positive for the coronavirus after traveling to New Mexico to be with her husband on location for his latest movie, The Harder They Fall.
