He doesn’t have any symptoms at the moment and is staying inside.

As coronavirus continues to be a concern for the health and safety of everyone, it’s incredibly important that people get tested if they feel sick or have been in contact with anyone else who has tested positive. That’s exactly what actor Idris Elba did after he found out he may have been exposed to COVID-19, and he just revealed on Twitter that he tested positive.

Shortly after Idris received the test results, he took to Twitter to update his followers on his whereabouts and told them he’s currently self-quarantining. His wife Sabrina, who appeared in the video alongside him, has not been tested yet.

Idris wrote, “This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. I feel okay—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.”

Here’s what he said in the video:

“Hey, what’s up guys. So look, this morning I got some test results back for coronavirus, and it came back positive. Yeah, and it sucks. Listen, I’m doing okay. Sabrina hasn’t been tested, and she’s doing okay. I didn’t have any symptoms. I got tested because I realized I was exposed to someone who had also tested positive. I found out last Friday that they were tested positive, I quarantined myself and got tested immediately, and got the results back today.

Look, this is serious. Now’s the time to really think about social distancing, washing your hands. Beyond that, there are people out there who aren’t showing symptoms and that can easily spread it, okay? So now’s a real time to be really vigilant about washing your hands and keeping your distance.

We’ve told our families. They’re very supportive. We’ve told our colleagues. Transparency is probably the best thing for this right now. If you’re feeling ill or you feel like you should be tested or you’ve been exposed, then do something about it, alright? It’s really important.

Look, we live in a divided world right now. We can all feel it. It’s been bullsh*t. But now’s the time for solidarity. Now’s the time for thinking about each other. There’s so many people whose lives have been affected, from those who have lost people that they love to people who don’t even have it and have lost their livelihoods.

This is real, alright. I just wanted to share my news with you guys, and I will keep you updated with how I’m doing. But so far, we’re feeling okay. Alright man. Stay positive. And don’t freak out.”
