According to a report by Johns Hopkins University in the US, about 220,000 people have been confirmed with the coronavirus globally. While 84,000 people have recovered, the deadly virus has claimed the lives of 8,800, Al Jazeera reported.
Just earlier this week, the actor gave a positive update about his health on social media. “Hey folks. Good news: One week after testing positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same. No fever but the blahs. Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch. Bad news: my wife has won 6 straight hands of Gin Rummy and now leads by 201 points,” he wrote. The couple was in Australia for production of Baz Luhrmann’s untitled Elvis Presley biopic, when they tested positive. The 63-year-old Oscar winner had stated that they took the test after experiencing symptoms of the virus.
