Sabrina's diagnosis
After Idris had been diagnosed, Sabrina refused to be separated from him so consequently, she contracted the virus.
During an interview on the Apple TV+ series Oprah Talks, Sabrina defends her decision, "I wanted to be with him."
She adds that as a wife, she felt a natural instinct to look after him.
Sabrina admits she hasn't experienced any of the common symptoms yet.
"I don't feel anything that would come to what people would now expect to be a symptom of coronavirus, which is really strange."
"It might change in the coming weeks, and we'll keep everyone updated."

"Our world has been taking a kicking."
He adds, "We have damaged our world and it's no surprise that our world is reacting to the human race."

"It is no surprise that a virus has been created that is going to slow us down, and ultimately make us think differently about our world and ourselves."
"For me, that's a stand-out thing that is really obvious."
Idris believes, "This is almost like the world's cry out."
