Celebrities, Athletes and Politicians With Coronavirus: Updating List - The New York Times

Posted: 25 Mar 2020 09:12 AM PDT

The heir to the British throne, N.B.A. stars, award-winning actors and members of Congress. World-touring musicians, religious leaders and the loved ones of elected leaders.

They are among the hundreds of thousands who have tested positive for the coronavirus as it has spread around the world. Many of the famous figures, by going public with their diagnoses, have helped put a face to the virus, sharing updates via social media and giving interviews about their symptoms and conditions.

Here's a roundup of public figures who have announced that they have the virus.

John Prine: The influential singer-songwriter was hospitalized on March 26 after "a sudden onset of Covid-19 symptoms," his family said in a statement. Two days later, he was in critical condition, the statement said. Mr. Prine, 73, has been celebrated for his evocative storytelling in such songs as "Angel From Montgomery," "Hello in There" and "Lake Marie" in a career that spans five decades.

Idris Elba: The actor posted a video on social media on March 16 to announce that he had contracted the coronavirus. "Listen, I'm doing OK," he said in the video, appearing with his wife, Sabrina Dhowre Elba, who later tested positive herself. "I didn't have any symptoms," he added.

Mr. Elba, who played Stringer Bell on "The Wire" and Heimdall in the "Avengers" and "Thor" movies, said he got tested because he had been exposed to someone who had tested positive.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson: The Academy Award-winning actor and his wife, Ms. Wilson, both 63, said in a statement on March 11 that they were in Australia and had the coronavirus.

On March 28, Mr. Hanks announced on Twitter that he and Ms. Wilson were home "and, like the rest of America, we carry on with sheltering in place and social distancing."

Plácido Domingo: The opera star, 79, disclosed on Facebook that he had tested positive for the coronavirus, writing on March 22, "I feel it is my moral duty to announce to you that I have tested positive." He wrote that he had decided to get tested because he had a fever and cough.

He said that he and his family were in good health and would be in self-isolation "for as long as it is deemed medically necessary."

Chris Cuomo: The CNN anchor said in a statement on Twitter on March 31 that he had tested positive for the coronavirus. Mr. Cuomo, 49, said he had a fever, chills and shortness of breath after recently being exposed to people "who have subsequently tested positive." Mr. Cuomo was "feeling well," according to a memo distributed to CNN staff members, and planned to continue hosting his prime-time program from his home.

Mr. Cuomo's father, Mario M. Cuomo, was a former governor of New York. He is the younger brother of the current governor, Andrew M. Cuomo, whose public addresses on the response to the outbreak in hard-hit New York have drawn national attention.

Debi Mazar: The television and film actress best known for her roles in "Entourage," "Goodfellas" and "Younger" said on Instagram on March 21 that she had tested positive after she and her husband and two teenage daughters came down with an "odd-bug" about a month ago. Two weeks later, she said, she began having intense body aches and a high fever. After learning of her positive test, she said, she and her family put themselves in quarantine.

Rachel Matthews: The actress, who was the voice of Honeymaren in "Frozen II," said on Instagram on March 16 that she had tested positive and had been in quarantine for the previous week. She said her symptoms began with a sore throat and fatigue on the first day to shortness of breath and loss of appetite afterward.

Kristofer Hivju: The "Games of Thrones" actor said in an Instagram post on March 16 that he had tested positive for the virus and that he, along with his family, was in isolation. "We are in good health — I only have mild symptoms of a cold," said Mr. Hivju, 41. He urged people to take precautions and to distance themselves from others. "Together we can fight this virus and avert a crisis at our hospitals," he said.

Olga Kurylenko: The actress, perhaps best known for her role in the 2008 James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" and the "Magic City" television series, said on Instagram on March 15 that she had tested positive. "Fever and fatigue are my main symptoms," she wrote.

In a follow-up post, Ms. Kurylenko, 40, described how her fever had risen and said she was unsure how she might have contracted the virus. "It could be anywhere," she said. "I could have touched a taxi handle and gotten it from there."

Terrence McNally: The four-time Tony Award-winning playwright died on March 24 of complications of the coronavirus, a spokesman said. Read the New York Times obituary for Mr. McNally.

Laura Bell Bundy: The stage actress best known for her run as the original Elle Woods in the musical adaptation of "Legally Blonde" announced on Instagram on March 25 that she had tested positive. Ms. Bundy told her followers that she was OK and that she had been following her doctor's orders. She said she believed her symptoms were minor in part because she had been taking care of herself.

Adam Schlesinger: The songwriter and bass guitarist, best known as a co-founder of the band Fountains of Wayne, has the coronavirus, his lawyer, Josh Grier, said on March 31. He was being treated at a hospital in upstate New York.

Mr. Schlesinger, 52, also co-founded the bands Ivy and Tinted Windows and was the executive music producer for the CW series "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend." He also wrote the title song for the 1996 Tom Hanks film "That Thing You Do," and was nominated for an Academy Award for the composition. Fountains of Wayne is known for the 2003 hit "Stacy's Mom."

Daniel Dae Kim: The actor, best known for his roles on the television shows "Lost" and "Hawaii Five-0," said in an Instagram post on March 19 that he had tested positive.

Mr. Kim, 51, said that he was in New York shooting "New Amsterdam," an NBC medical drama in which he plays a doctor during a pandemic, when the coronavirus outbreak halted the production. He returned home to Hawaii, where he said he was tested at a drive-through facility.

In the video, Mr. Kim said the "senseless violence and prejudice against Asian people" over the coronavirus should stop. "Yes, I'm Asian and yes I have coronavirus," he said, "but I did not get it from China. I got it in America, in New York City."

Andy Cohen: The creator of the "Real Housewives" reality show franchise and host of Bravo TV's late night talk show "Watch What Happens Live" said in an Instagram post on March 20 that he had tested positive.

"As much as I felt like I could push through whatever I was feeling to do #WWHL from home, we're putting a pin in that for now so I can focus on getting better," Mr. Cohen wrote.

Colton Underwood: The leading man on Season 23 of the ABC reality show "The Bachelor" and former NFL football player said in an Instagram post on March 20 that he had tested positive.

"I'm 28, I consider myself pretty healthy, I work out regularly, I eat healthy and I became symptomatic a few days ago," Mr. Underwood said.

He said he could not walk up a flight of stairs without being out of breath and that he was exhausted. "The reason I am sharing this is not to cause fear or panic," he said, "but to hopefully encourage you guys to stay at home."

Harvey Weinstein: The disgraced film producer who was convicted in February of rape and other sex crimes has contracted the coronavirus in prison, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Mr. Weinstein was being held in isolation at the Wende Correction Facility, east of Buffalo, according to the two people, who spoke anonymously to discuss a private medical matter.

Mr. Jordan, one of the members of the hip-hop group Geto Boys, described his symptoms during a live stream to fellow bandmate Willie D.

He said his symptoms had begun with an itchy throat, and eventually included vomiting and difficulty breathing. "It was like an elephant sitting on my chest," he said.

Joe Diffie: The country signer, who had a series of hits in the 1990s, including "Home," "If the Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets)" and "Pickup Man," has died of complications from Covid-19, his publicist told Rolling Stone.

Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell: The Utah Jazz stars became the first N.B.A. players to test positive for the virus, helping push the league to freeze its season. Mr. Gobert, 27, apologized for making light of the health crisis before his diagnosis — he pointedly touched the microphones and recording devices in front of him on his way out of a March 9 news conference. "I was careless and make no excuses," he said on Instagram.

In a post on Instagram, Mr. Mitchell, 23, said he hoped that everyone would "realize that they need to behave responsibly both for their own health and for the well-being of those around them."

Sean Payton: The New Orleans Saints coach told ESPN that he tested positive on March 19. Mr. Payton said he did not experience fever as a symptom.
