Hollywood actor and former wrestler Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson on Thursday took to Instagram to share that he along with his wife and their two daughters tested positive for the coronavirus two weeks ago.
In a video which he called his ‘message all of you around the world’, Johnson said that it is one of the most challenging things they ever had to endure. “This was one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family, and personally too. This is so much different than getting nasty injuries or being broke, which I have been multiple times in my life. My number one priority is to protect my family. I wish it was only me, but it wasn’t so it is a real kick in the gut. But I am happy to tell you that we as a family are good, on the other side of it, and we are no longer contagious. We have gotten through Covid-19 stronger and healthier.”
“I am counting my blessings because we are well aware that this isn’t always the case. I have had my best friends lose their parents, their loved ones to this virus. It is relentless. Babies can have little to no symptoms at all, so for our babies, Jazzy and Tia, they had a little sore throat, but that was it. But it was different for Lauren and I. We had a rough go, but we got through,” he added.
He said that that they contracted the virus from close family friends. “We picked up Covid-19 from very close family friends who we love and trust. They were devastated. So having your friends, family over, loved ones over…now apply even greater discipline over who you are going to call over. Take an aggressive measure, get them tested because you never know. There should also be a greater commitment to health and wellness and we should be doing everything we can to boost our immunity system. We gotta control the controllables,” he said, stressing on the need for everyone to take necessary precautions.
The actor also requested everyone to ‘wear masks’, and ‘be strict about having people over your house or gatherings’.
