By: Stephi Wild Mar. 22, 2020
Oprah Winfrey has launched a new series, Oprah Talks COVID-19, on Apple TV. Her first episode features an interview with Idris Elba, and his wife Sabrina Dhowre, who Winfrey talked to via video chat.
Elba and Dhowre talked about how they're coping with the virus, and what the pandemic is doing for the world.
"One of the upsides of this whole drama is that we are forced to think together as a race, as a human race," Elba said.
Dhowre also confirmed that she has tested positive for COVID-19.
"I've been tested - actually, I found out this morning, Oprah, that I tested positive," she said. She says that she was "not surprised" by the diagnosis, and never questioned staying with her husband after he tested positive.
"I wanted to be with him. That's the instinct of a wife. You want to go and take care."
Winfrey posted a clip from the interview on Twitter, which can be viewed below.
