Game of Thrones' Tormund actor Kristofer Hivju has coronavirus - digitalspy.com

Game of Thrones star Kristofer Hivju has revealed he has tested positive for the coronavirus.

The Norwegian actor – best known for playing Tormund Giantsbane in the HBO fantasy drama – took to Instagram on Monday (March 16) to assure fans that he and his family intend to self-isolate at home "for as long as it takes" and that he only has "mild symptoms".

He took the opportunity to urge his followers to "be extremely careful" and ensure that they are washing their hands frequently, standing 1.5 meters away from one another at any given time and going into quarantine if necessary.

"Just do everything you can to stop the virus from spreading," the 41-year-old said in a caption underneath a selfie of himself and his wife Gry Molvær Hivju. "Together we can fight this and avert a crisis at our hospitals.

"Please take care of each other, keep your distance, and stay healthy! Please visit your country's Center for Disease Control's website, and follow the regulations for staying safe and protecting not just yourselves, but our entire community, and especially those at risk like the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions."

Earlier on Monday, Luther star Idris Elba confirmed he has also tested positive for the coronavirus.

Last week, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson posted they'd tested positive for COVID-19 while filming a movie in Australia, and former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko announced on Monday that she has been diagnosed with it as well.
