Idris Elba Tests Positive For Coronavirus

Idris Elba has been tested positive for the deadly bug COVID-19 virus but is currently in good condition and has not been showing symptoms related to the virus yet.

The Dark Tower star actor confirmed the development in a clip posted on Twitter and revealed that he picked up the virus after getting in contact with someone who had been tested positive for the coronavirus.

"I got tested because I had realized I got exposed to someone who had also tested positive. I found out last Friday that they were positive," he said in the clip. " I quarantined myself and got a test immediately and go the result back today."

Idris was in the company of his wife Sabrina Dhowre whilst broadcasting live of the social media platform and he also confirmed that she has not gone for her testing for the virus. As it is known, coronavirus is very contagious and can be contacted if an uninfected person does not keep the right distance from a positive person.

"Now's the time to really think about social distancing, washing your hands. Beyond that, there are people out there who aren't showing symptoms, and that can easily spread it. So now's a real-time to be really vigilant about your hands and keeping your distance."
