Although he's asymptomatic, Elba is remaining isolated from others and remaining chill and collected as always.
Both he and his partner, Sabrina, are doing alright according to his video update. Elba got tested after learning he was exposed to someone who also had tested positive. He quarantined himself and got tested immediately.
Elba joins Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson who announced they tested positive for the coronavirus last week.
Elba's major message was to stay home, wash your hands, practice social distancing, be transparent with people. It's easy to get anxiety when major stars are coming down with coronavirus, but practicing proper hygiene and doing what's best for you and others is the path to staying healthy.
