On Monday, Idris Elba tested positive to Corona Virus and shared the news with the world.
In the video, he is seen with his wife Sabrina right beside him although she had not yet tested for the virus and on assumption remained negative. Fans were quick to point out how unhealthy it was for Sabrina to be by his side because she was negative and he positive.
Idris in a new post has addressed that. He says he is doing very well now and Sabrina has finally tested and the result came out negative.
On why Sabrina was by him, he said they both took a calculated risk and decided to be together, hoping people out there would understand them— talk about people in love and wanting to die together.
“Yesterday was good and bad. Bad because I tested positive, but it was also good because it opened up a lot of conversation around it. I think it made it a lot more real for some people. It definitely made it more real for me and my family.
“There were so many positive responses too, you know, me talking about it. Some negative too. But there were some definite positive ones. I certainly felt…my wife and I felt like it was the right thing to do, to share it with you guys.
“Right now though, I am feeling okay. I woke up this morning, didn’t have any symptoms. My voice is a little tired…checking my fever twice a day. Feel good, feel okay. Been doing a lot of reading about it. You know, asymptomatic is what comes up.”

Idris said, “Sabrina‘s good too. Sabrina today finally managed to get a test, and we’re thankful for that. Generally, Sabrina‘s fine. Nervous of course. Worried. Just for clarification, Sabrina wanted to be by my side.”
He continued, “We calculated that risk and decided to be together. I hope you guys can understand that.”
