Elba explained that he had no symptoms but after coming in contact with someone who recently tested positive, he decided to take the test to see if he also contracted the deadly virus. On Monday, he received his test back and shared the results with his fans.
“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. Stay home people and be pragmatic. I will keep you updated on how I’m doing. No panic.” Elba’s wife, Sabrina Dhowre, appeared beside him in his video. Elba said she has not been tested but was “doing OK.”
Elba is now the latest high profile star to share news of his coronavirus diagnosis. As we previously reported, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson announced they had tested positive for coronavirus last week. Hanks also took to social media on Sunday to give fans a little update.
While sharing a photo of his vegemite and toast set beside a kangaroo toy on Instagram, he captioned the post,
“Thanks to the Helpers. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other,” he wrote.
