Idris Elba's wife tests positive to coronavirus

Sabrina, the wife of British actor Idris Elba, has revealed that she has tested positive to coronavirus.

MyNigeria.com recalls that Idris Elba announced days ago that he tested positive to the virus but was yet to show symptoms.

His wife who was by his side while making the announcement on social media spoke to Oprah Winfrey.

"Actually, I found out this morning, Oprah, that I tested positive.

"I’m not surprised. As soon as I heard that Idris was potentially exposed I was on my way anyway and I wanted to be with him.

"I think that’s an instinct as a wife you just want to go and take care. We didn’t change the way we interacted.

"I could have made a decision to put myself in a separate room or maybe stay away.

"I’m sure people are making those decisions, they’re tough decisions to make. But I made the decision to want to be with him and still touch him."

Elba who revealed that he may have been infected the day he attended an event with the wife of the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudaeu, stated that his wife may have gotten infected through him.

Speaking to Oprah, he said:

"On the day of the exposure, we were together at home and had been together right until I had departed to fly.

"So at any point then, and prior to us knowing, if I’d caught it, she’d certainly have caught it in that time period as well."
