Joined by his wife Sabrina Dhowre, the 47-year-old British actor announced via video that he was diagnosed with COVID-19 after he comes in contact with a person who had it. Explaining he didn’t have symptoms, Elba said, “…Now’s the time to really think about social distancing, washing your hands. Beyond that, there are people out there who aren’t showing symptoms and that can easily spread it.”
