As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread around the world, the latest celebrity to publicly announce that they've tested positive for the virus is
The Suicide Squad star Idris Elba.
The
Avengers: Infinity War actor shared the following video to Twitter, reassuring his fans that he feels fine despite the diagnosis.
Elba says he didn't have any symptoms, but decided to get tested when he was informed that he'd been exposed to someone that had tested positive for coronavirus. He also urges people to self-isolate as much as possible and get tested if the feel ill (that's obviously easier said than done in some parts of the world).
Tom Hanks became the first high-profile figure to come forward with their diagnosis last week, and we found out earlier today that actress
Olga Kurylenko (
Quantum of Solace, Oblivion) has also tested positive.
