Screen icon Tom Hanks and his wife, actress Rita Wilson stunned the world by being the first stars to go public with their diagnoses.
Since then, a handful of celebrities have revealed that they too have contracted the respiratory illness, with varying symptoms.
From a Bond girl to a “Game of Thrones” wildling, here are all the known famous coronavirus patients.
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson
Hollywood power couple Hanks and Wilson, both 63, are reportedly no longer hospitalized in isolation after being diagnosed with the virus.
Idris Elba
English star Elba tested positive for the virus, according to a video he shared with millions of Twitter followers.
“I have no symptoms so far but have been isolated since I found out about my possible exposure to the virus,” he wrote on Twitter. “Stay home people and be pragmatic.”
Olga Kurylenko
French-Ukrainian actress and model Kurylenko, 40, announced on Instagram that she was “locked up at home after having tested positive for Coronavirus.”
Known for starring alongside Daniel Craig in the 2008 James Bond film “Quantum of Solace,” Kurylenko also noted that she has “actually been ill for almost a week now” with symptoms including “fever and fatigue.”
She later explained in a follow-up post that she hadn’t been hospitalized in order to make room for “patients that are struggling with life.”
Kristofer Hivju
The 41-year-old Norwegian actor, who played crass “GoT” fan favorite Tormund Giantsbane, clarified that he is “in good health” and had only “mild symptoms of a cold.”
“There are people at higher risk for who this virus might be a devastating diagnosis, so I urge all of you to be extremely careful,” he wrote. “Wash your hands, keep 1.5 meters distance from others, go in quarantine; just do everything you can to stop the virus from spreading.”
Rachel Matthews
American actress Matthews, who voiced Northuldra member Honeymaren in “Frozen 2,” posted the following to her Instagram story;
“Unsure of what the next step is (been getting mixed info so will keep you posted) but obviously will remain in quarantine until told to do otherwise,” the 26-year-old wrote. “Let’s please be mindful of our decisions — now is the time to be smart and responsible. Let’s take care of one another!!”
Matthews’ early symptoms included “sore throat, fatigue, headache,” as well as a “mild fever,” “shortness of breath” and a “deep, dry cough.” She updated followers that she is “feeling better.”
Daniel Dae Kim
The “Hawaii Five-O” alum was filming a guest role on “New Amsterdam” in New York City, where coincidentally he was playing a doctor summoned to help amid a flu pandemic. A week after production shut down, he started to feel sick.
He noticed a tightness in his chest. He had body aches and his temperature had started to rise. Now he’s “not 100%,” but he’s getting closer
With the constant and rapid spread of this virus all over the world, we must remain calm and indoors. Isolating ourselves is the only way this can be contained. Please stay home for the betterment of yourselves and your loved ones.
