Elba said that he did not get testing because he had developed symptoms. Instead, he said he was made aware that he had contact with an individual who had tested positive for the virus and received testing after he found out.
“I got tested because I realized that I was exposed to someone who had also tested positive. I found out last Friday that they were tested positive. I quarantined myself and got a test immediately and got the results back today.”
“Look, this is serious,” he said as he encouraged people to practice social distancing and “be real vigilant.”
“Now’s the time to really think about social distancing, washing your hands. Beyond that, there are people out there who aren’t showing symptoms, and that can easily spread it. So now’s a time to be real vigilant about washing your hands and keeping your distance.”
