Idris's family gets COVID-19
Almost a year ago, Idris came out as one of the top actors to get Covid-19 noting he had isolated but had no signs of the infection.
Idris urged his fans not to worry about him as he was not in bad shape and urged them to stay at home to avoid catching the virus.
In the video shared online, his wife, who was yet to contract the virus, refused to stay away, opting to be with him no matter his condition.
A few days later, Sabrina confirmed she had also tested positive during an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
She said she was not surprised to have tested positive for the virus.
Idris's wife wanted to be with him and felt it was a wife's instinct to "want to go and take care."
“We did not change the way we interacted. I could have made a decision to put myself in a separate room or maybe stay away," Sabrina said. "I’m sure people are making those decisions, they’re tough decisions to make. But I made the decision to want to be with him and still touch him.”
