People

The Wire alum and star of BBC's Luther and Quibi's upcoming reality show Elba vs. Block announced his diagnosis in a Twitter video with wife Sabrina Dhowre, saying that "it sucks" but he's "doing okay": "This morning I tested positive for Covid 19," he tweeted. "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 (fist bump emojis). No panic." In the video, Elba added: "I didn’t have any symptoms. I got tested because I had realized I got exposed to someone who had also tested positive. I found out last Friday that they were tested positive, I quarantined myself and got a test immediately and got results back today.”
