Dwayne Johnson has recently revealed that he has won a battle against COVID-19, warning others that the virus was a formidable foe even for him.
Also known as “The Rock,” Johnson took to Instagram to reveal that he and his family are now on the other side of COVID-19 after they all tested positive about three weeks ago.
He said, “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. And for me personally, too, as well, and I’ve gone through some doozies in the past.”
Johnson said his two young daughters, aged 4 and 2, had 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,” the 48-year-old actor continued. “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.”
Johnson said he believes they might have contracted the infection from close family friends.
The San Andreas actor encouraged others to take precautionary measures when meeting with their friends or family. He advised people to take measures such as getting tested for COVID-19 before meeting anybody and wearing a mask in order to prevent the spread of the virus.
Johnson also said he believes he has benefited from his general commitment to his health.
He said, “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,” he added.
