Elba’s tweet shows him totally calm explaining that he was tested because he was exposed to someone who did have the virus.
The message ends with Idris saying, “Stay home people and be pragmatic,” “I will keep you updated on how I’m doing No panic.”
Elba is the latest celebrity to publicly announce that he has the coronavirus. Last week Tom Hanks announced to the world that he and his wife Rita Wilson tested positive for the illness while on a trip in Australia, where they are currently in isolation.
Other celebrities who announced they contracted COVID-19 include Matthew Broderick’s sister Janet and “Quantum of Solace” Bond girl Olga Kurylenko.
