Idris Elba has shared yet another update on his condition after testing positive for coronavirus.

Weeks after seemingly catching the illness from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, the wife of Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, the Luther actor told his fans he is “stuck in limbo” as he’s unable to fly home despite being “past the quarantine period”.

Elba has been in self-isolation with his wife Sabrina Dhowre, which he said was “weird” as they’re not used to “sitting still”.

He said on Twitter: “But we are both good mentally, trying to stay optimistic.”

Elba expressed his gratefulness for overcoming the illness.

“Take it from me, man, I thought I was definitely going to see the worst of it as an asthmatic but thankfully I came through and you can too,” he said.

“You lot are amazing and should be fully appreciated,” he said.
He told people going through financial hardship as a result of the virus to “keep your head up”.
