Idris Elba says he has COVID-19
    2020-03-18  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THE English actor Idris Elba announced Monday that he had tested positive for the coronavirus, sharing the news with fans in a video that he posted on Twitter.

“This morning I tested positive for COVID-19,” Elba wrote in a post that accompanied the video, referring to the disease caused by the coronavirus. “I feel OK, I have no symptoms so far but have been isolated since I found out about my possible exposure to the virus.”

Elba, 47, is best known for his roles in the HBO series “The Wire” and as the title character in the BBC police drama series “Luther.” He said he was tested “because I realized I was exposed to someone who had also tested positive.” He said he learned about that person’s positive test result Friday. “I quarantined myself and got a test immediately,” Elba said.

“This is serious,” he said in the video, urging people to be vigilant about handwashing and social distancing.

Elba said his wife, Sabrina Dhowre Elba, who appeared in the video with him, had not been tested. But, he added, “she’s doing OK.”

It was not clear where Elba was tested.(SD-Agencies)
