Hollywood actor Idris Elba has tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19) and is currently in self-isolation.

“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 tweeted as he posted an advisory video alongside his wife Sabrina.

The actor decided to get himself tested after he came into close contact with someone who had tested positive for coronavirus.

Elba was filming for several big-budget productions, including “The Matrix 4” which was about to start production in Germany but was suspended due to coronavirus fears. He joins a list of celebrities and professional athletes who have recently been diagnosed with the virus.

I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of concern and support over the last 24 hours. I have gone through so many emotions since learning of my diagnosis…mostly fear, anxiety, and embarrassment. The first and most important thing is I would like to publicly apologize to the people that I may have endangered. At the time, I had no idea I was even infected. I was careless and make no excuse. I hope my story serves as a warning and causes everyone to take this seriously. I will do whatever I can to support using my experience as way to educate others and prevent the spread of this virus . I am under great care and will fully recover. Thank you again for all your support. I encourage everyone to take all of the steps to stay safe and healthy. Love.
