Following the announcement, netizens rushed to Tweeter to comment on the news. While some users expressed concerns about Elba's health, others advised on following safety measures to prevent contracting the virus.
Elba is not the first Hollywood actor to have contracted the disease, as earlier, Tom Hanks Olga Kurylenko, and Rita Wilson also said they tested positive for COVID-19.
