The actor and rapper Idris Elba announced this Monday (16) that he had contracted the coronavirus.
The 47-year-old Brit said in a video posted on his social media that he took a test and the result was positive. “I feel fine, I have no symptoms so far, but I have been isolated since I learned of my possible exposure to the virus,” he said.
