This morning I tested positive for Covid 19. I feel ok, 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. pic.twitter.com/Lg7HVMZglZ

The Hackney-born actor explained that he was asymptomatic and his untested partner Sabrina (hovering unadvisedly close in the background, PLEASE get back sis) was also feeling fine.
Elba got tested after discovering he’d been exposed to someone who had recently tested positive, which is apparently something some people can do, unless you’re someone irrelevant like an NHS nurse.
Coronavirus is now expected to spend two weeks in quarantine, as Idris Elba is widely believed to be fatal.
