He said he quarantined himself at home after knowing he had been exposed to a person infected with the virus last Friday.

Hollywood actor Idris Elba, who is best known for his role as Heimdall in Marvel's Thor series, has just announced that he has tested positive for the Covid-19 virus. The 47-year-old actor said he received the test results Monday morning.

According to the video he posted on Twitter, he still feels good and has no symptoms of the disease so far.

Despite this, Elba said he quarantined himself after finding out last Friday he came into contact with a person who was positive for Covid-19.

In his Twitter video, he also encourages people to stay away from crowds and to wash their hands when needed. In particular, he stressed that those who were infected with the virus had no symptoms, like him, so it became even more necessary to avoid gathering with crowds.

He added: "It seems we live in a divided world . but now is the time to be united. Now is the time to think of others. There are so many living people affected."

Meanwhile, Elba's wife, Sabrina Dhowre, also appeared next to him in the video. Elba said his wife has not yet tested for the virus but is still "pretty good."

"So far we're still feeling OK. Be optimistic and don't panic."

Elba is the latest Hollywood star to share news of his Covid-19 infection. Last week, actor Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson also said they were positive for the Covid-19 virus.
