Hollywood is also not spared the Corona pandemic: Various actors have announced on social media that they have been infected with the Covid 19 virus; most recently it hit Idris Elba (47). In a video by the "Luther" actor posted on Twitter, he explains that he currently shows no symptoms of illness. However, he had himself tested after learning last Friday that he was in contact with an infected person.
Former bond girl Olga Kurylenko (40, "A Quantum of Solace") also shared on Instagram that she had the corona virus. She was taken to the hospital because she had a fever of over 39 degrees. With the help of a smear, it was finally found that it carried the virus. However, the actress will cure herself at home, "the hospitals are full and only accept patients who are fighting for their lives," writes the 40-year-old.
Hanks on the mend
"Game of Thrones" star Kristofer Hivju (41) aka Tormund Riesentod was also tested positive for the virus. So far, however, only very mild symptoms have broken out, comparable to a cold, the Norwegian writes on Instagram.
Meanwhile, Hollywood star Tom Hanks (63, "The Terminal") and his wife Rita Wilson (63) have been released from the hospital. The couple had contracted Covid-19 in Australia. "Let's take care of ourselves and each other," warned the Oscar winner on Instagram.
