British actor Idris Elba is the latest celebrity to test positive for coronavirus, tweeting in a video Monday that he had no symptoms yet but was quarantining.
“It sucks,” the 47-year-old said in a clip, saying he got tested Friday because he realized he’d had exposure from someone who also tested positive.
“Listen, I’m doing okay,” Elba said, before telling fans “this is serious.”
“Now’s the time to really think about social distancing, washing your hands,” he continued. “There are people out there who aren’t showing symptoms and that can easily spread it.
“Transparency is probably the best thing for this right now.”
