English actor, Idris Elba, disclosed that he had recovered from the novel coronavirus having tested positive early in March.

The actor, who described the ordeal as “definitely scary and unsettling and nervous,” told the Associated Press that he will be launching a $40 million fund in partnership with the United Nations to help others in the rural and poor areas that are suffering the most from the pandemic.
