Actor Idris Elba hinted that he likely was infected with the Coronavirus via contact with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau’s wife Sophie.
As The New York Post reports:
“I know I’ve been exposed to it from March 4,” the 47-year-old “Luther” star said — the same date he was photographed with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, 44, at a packed charity event in London, alongside F1 star Lewis Hamilton.
“That’s when the person that came up positive, that was the time I got in contact with that person,” he said in a video update, again stressing that his “known exposure was March 4.”
Without naming the person, he revealed that he got tested after hearing about someone “also in the public eye” being infected.
He said he found out about it Friday — the morning he would have woken up to hear that Canada’s first lady had tested positive.

The truly curious part of the revelation is that, while it appears Sophie Trudeau apparently infected Elba with the virus via physical contact, her husband Justin so far remains uninfected.
