American actor Idris Elba has announced that he has tested positive for coronavirus. He said although he currently has no symptoms but is isolated.
Elba made the announcement in a video shared on his verified Twitter page on Monday evening.
“So look this morning I got some test results back for coronavirus and it came back positive. Yeah, and it sucks.
“Listen, I’m doing OK.
“I didn’t have any symptoms. I got tested because I realised I was exposed to someone who had also tested positive,” Elba said.
“I found out last Friday that they were tested positive. I quarantined myself and got the results immediately and got the results back today.”
He added that his wife Sabrina Dhowre hasn’t been tested but is “doing OK” too.
Elba and Sabrina got married in Morocco in April 2019.
He joins other celebrities like Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson who have tested positive for the virus.
