Actor Idris Elba announced Monday that he has tested positive for coronavirus, but says he has not shown symptoms.
The star of Luther, Heimdall (Thor and Avengers) and The Wire said on Twitter “I feel OK”, and does not have any symptoms.
“I quarantined myself and got tested immediately and got the results back today,” Elba said. “Look, this is serious, you know? Now is the time to really think about social distancing, washing your hands.”
“Stay home people and be pragmatic,” he said. “I will keep you updated on how I’m doing. No panic.”
In 2017, Elba took a photo that featured 11 of the best footballers on the planet, including Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar.
The 11 footballers on stage all made the cut in FIFA's Team of the Year, an award unveiled at the Best FIFA Football Awards show.
