The actor said he was exposed to someone who tested positive for the virus last week.
The actor said he wasn’t showing symptoms but was exposed to someone who had tested positive on Friday so he self-quarantined until he could get his results. Elba follows other celebs like Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, and former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko, who have also tested positive. Elba lives in London, England.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Monday that Brits need to stop non-essential social contact and avoid clubs, pubs, theaters, and all unnecessary travel as the coronavirus outbreak accelerates, even telling its citizens over 70 or who have underlying health conditions to self-quarantine for four months.
Prime Minister Johnson also said anyone with symptoms of the coronavirus should isolate themselves along with their entire household for 14 days and should work from home if they are able. “We need people to start working from home where they possibly can,” Johnson said. As of today, almost 180,000 people globally have tested positive for the virus and 7074 have died as a result. As our country comes to terms with the delays in testing that will likely cause mass spreading of the virus and people who are actually severely ill are being denied tests is horrifying. The fact that Idris Elba got one immediately with no symptoms is completely infuriating.
