British actor Idris Elba confirmed on Monday that he had contracted the emerging coronavirus (Covid 19), but reassured his fans and followers about his health.

Elba explained, in a tweet on Twitter, that he had isolated himself when he realized that he might be exposed to the Coronavirus, and then conducted the analyzes and the results were positive.

The British star recommended his followers to be “pragmatic” and stay in their homes during this period in order to reduce their risk of contracting the virus or transmitting the infection to other people.

He added that he was not panicked by hearing the news, and vowed to reveal to his fans any developments about his health.
