American actor, Dwayne Johnson otherwise known as The Rock, has tested positive to COVID-19.
In a video shared on his Instagram page, the actor and former wrestling star disclosed that he contracted the dreaded infectious disease alongside his family, but they’ve now won the battle.
“I can tell you that this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family,” he said. “And for me personally, too, as well, and I’ve gone through some doozies in the past.”
The Rock said his two young daughters, who are ages 4 and 2, exhibited mild symptoms, but he and his wife, Lauren Hashian, were a different story.
“But I am happy to tell you guys that we as a family are good. We are on the other end of it. We are on the other side. We are no longer contagious. And we are — thank god — we are healthy,” he said.
While encouraging his fans and members of the public to excercise extreme caution, he expressed belief that he and his family contracted the virus from close family friends.
The Rock however admitted that he benefited from his general commitment to his health.
He explained, “I’ve gotten knocked about and gotten my a– kicked a little bit in the past with some challenges, but testing positive for Covid-19 is much different than overcoming nasty injuries or being evicted or even being broke, which I have been more than a few times.
“The reason why I feel this is different is because my number one priority is to always protect my family and protect my children, my loved ones.”
