Actor
Idris
Elba
says
he
and
his
wife
are
clueless
about
the
next
step
in
their
treatment
for
coronavirus
after
they
passed
their
quarantine
period.
The
47-year-old
actor,
who
is
in
New
Mexico,
had
in
March
revealed
that
he
had
contracted
coronavirus.
His
wife,
Sabrina
Dhowre,
also
tested
positive
for
the
disease
a
few
days
later.
Since
then,
the
actor
has
been
regularly
giving
updates
about
his
and
Sabrina's
health
through
social
media.
In
the
latest
video,
posted
on
his
official
Twitter
account,
Elba
said
their
self-quarantine
period
is
over
but
they
are
yet
to
be
tested
again
for
COVID-19.
"We're
both
doing
okay,
still
asymptomatic.
We've
passed
the
quarantine
period
but
we're
a
little
bit
stuck
in
limbo
we
can't
get
a
flight
back
home.
So
we
just
have
to
sit
still
for
a
little
bit.
"Other
than
that,
we're
OK,
and
we're
so
thankful
for
that.
I
think
the
worst
of
it
has
probably
passed," Elba
said
in
the
video.
The
actor
said
he
and
Sabrina
are
both
finding
it
difficult
to
deal
with
the
self-isolation
period.
"It's
weird
because
I
never
sit
still,
Sabrina
never
sits
still
either
and
I
think
she's
finding
it
harder.
She's
getting
cabin
fever," Elba
added.
The
couple
is
staying
mentally
strong
and
optimistic,
the
actor
further
said.
"I
hope
you
guys
are
too,
keeping
yourselves
sane
and
not
getting
too
worried
or
panicked.
I
thought
I
was
definitely
going
to
see
the
worst
of
it
as
an
asthmatic.
But
thankfully
I
came
through
and
you
can
too," he
added.
The
actor
then
gave
a
shout
out
to
all
the
health
personnel
who
are
leading
the
fight
against
coronavirus,
which
has
claimed
the
lives
of
over
42,000
people
globally.
"To
everyone
that's
going
through
some
hard
times
financially,
just
bear
up.
It's
going
to
be
a
tough
time
for
everyone,
but
keep
your
head
up
basically.
Hope
you're
good.
We're
going
to
fight
this
thing
and
everything's
going
to
be
cool,
man," Elba
said.
The
actor
had
recently
told
Oprah
Winfrey
during
her
new
Apple
TV
Plus
show
that
Sabrina
and
him
were
under
quarantine
in
New
Mexico,
where
he
was
shooting
for
his
next
movie
"The
Harder
They
Fall".
