Weeks after testing positive for the coronavirus, actor Idris Elba on Wednesday took to social media to share a health update and said that he is still asymptomatic. Elba's wife Sabrina too had tested positive a week later but the couple has now passed the quarantine period. 
 
"We`re doing okay, still asymptomatic. We`ve passed the quarantine period but we are stuck in limbo, we can`t get a flight back home, so we just have to sit still for a little bit. I think the worst of it has probably passed because I never sit still," said Elba in a video he posted on Twitter. 
 
Elba previously revealed he and his wife were under quarantine together in New Mexico."At some point, we'd like to go home to London. Be safe," the actor said.

The actor also went on to praise those on the frontline of the fight against the pandemic."Just a big shoutout to everyone that`s helping other people, especially the doctors and nurses and health care people that are doing their thing, you lot are amazing and should be fully appreciated," he said.
