On Monday, Elba shared a two-minute video of himself with his wife, Sabrina — who Elba explained hasn’t been tested for coronavirus (COVID-19) but is doing OK — announcing that he tested positive for the novel virus.

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. pic.twitter.com/Lg7HVMZglZ
