Coronavirus: James Bond star Olga Kurylenko 'locked up at home' after testing positive

Olga Kurylenko, the French actor who starred opposite Daniel Craig in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace, has tested positive for coronavirus.

Posting a picture on Instagram, Kurylenko said she was “locked up at home” as a result of the diagnosis.

“I’ve actually been ill for almost a week now”, she wrote.

“Fever and fatigue are my main symptoms. Take care of yourselves and do take this seriously!”

She also posted the same message in Ukranian, the language of her country of birth.

Kurylenko is not the first Hollywood star to contract the virus. Tom Hanks and his wife, actor and singer Rita Wilson, revealed last week that they had been infected while working in Australia.

At 40 years old, Kurylenko is not considered part of the demographic most threatened by coronavirus.

The virus is most dangerous when caught by people with pre-existing health problems or the elderly.
