Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer has said she is self-isolating amid the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the World Health Organisation, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover.
Spencer’s comments come after Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson revealed they had tested positive for the coronavirus while in Australia.
For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.
