Former Game of Thrones star Kristofer Hivju is the latest celebrity to test positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).

The actor took to Instagram to share the news, revealing that he is currently self-quarantining in Norway with his family.

"Sorry to say that I, today, have tested positive for COVID19, Corona virus," Hivju wrote in his post. "My family and I are self-isolating at home for as long as it takes. We are in good health – I only have mild symptoms of a cold.

There are people at higher risk for who this virus might be a devastating diagnosis, so I urge all of you to be extremely careful; wash your hands, keep 1,5 meters distance from others, go in quarantine; just do everything you can to stop the virus from spreading. Together we can fight this virus and avert a crisis at our hospitals. Please take care of each other, keep your distance, and stay healthy!"

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Greetings from Norway! Sorry to say that I, today, have tested positive for COVID19, Corona virus. My familiy and I are self-isolating at home for as long as it takes. We are in good health - I only have mild symptoms of a cold. There are people at higher risk for who this virus might be a devastating diagnosis, so I urge all of you to be extremely careful; wash your hands, keep 1,5 meters distance from others, go in quarantine; just do everything you can to stop the virus from spreading. Together we can fight this virus and avert a crisis at our hospitals. Please take care of each other, keep your distance, and stay healthy! Please visit your country's Center for Disease Control's website, and follow the regulations for staying safe and protecting not just yourselves, but our entire community, and especially those at risk like the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions. @grymolvaerhivju #fightcorona #solidarity #takecare #folkehelseinstituttet Thanks to @panoramaagency

Hivju was recently cast in season 2 of Netflix's The Witcher, which officially halted production earlier today.

Tom Hanks, Olga Kurylenko and Idris Elba have already shared their diagnosis, and more high-profile names are expected to come forward. Actors are constantly travelling and interacting with dozens of different people every day, making them more likely to come into contact with someone who has contracted the virus.
