*Idris Elba has posted another health update following his coronavirus diagnosis over a week ago.
In a video shared on Twitter, the actor tells fans he and his wife, Sabrina Dhowre, are “both doing OK” following dual positive diagnoses for COVID-19. According to PEOPLE, the couple are “asymptomatic,” and Elba says “I think the worst of it has probably passed.”
“We’ve passed the quarantine period but we’re a little bit stuck in limbo,” he said in the clip. “We can’t get a flight back home.”
Adding, “We just have to sit still for a little bit. Other than that, we’re OK, and we’re so thankful for that. I think the worst of it has probably passed.”
“It’s weird because I never sit still, Sabrina never sits still either and I think she’s finding it harder,” Elba added. “She’s getting cabin fever.”

As for how they were holding up in quarantine, “We’re both good mentally. Just trying to stay optimistic. I hope you guys are too, keeping yourselves sane and not getting too worried or panicked. I thought I was definitely going to see the worst of it as an asthmatic. But thankfully I came through and you can too,” said Elba.
Elba also praised “everyone who is helping other people, especially the doctors and nurses and health care people doing their thing. You lot are amazing and should be fully appreciated.”
Adding, “To everyone that’s going through some hard times financially, just bear up. It’s going to be a tough time for everyone, but keep your head up basically,” he said. “Hope you’re good. We’re going to fight this thing and everything’s going to be cool, man.”
Elba previously revealed he and his wife were under quarantine together in New Mexico. During a remote interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this month, Dhowre confirmed that neither she nor her husband experienced any symptoms of the virus.
“I’m not. It could be similar to Idris,” she said. “We’re in a high altitude it could be that I’m confusing seasonal allergies as maybe symptoms but I don’t feel anything that would come to what people would now expect to be a symptom of coronavirus, which is very strange.”
“It might change in the coming weeks and we’ll keep everyone updated. But It is worrisome that we’re both sitting here, two people and everyone that we know that we’ve been in contact with, all asymptomatic,” she added. “It’s a little bit worrisome.”
