“I’ve pretty much been staying in bed, taking my medication, but as of now I have no symptoms other than a little residual congestion which should clear up very soon.” he said.

Daniel also revealed he will be reunited with his family on Monday after over a week of quarantine, adding, “Happy to report they are still symptom-free and just bored like the rest of us.”

“I won’t say that it’s a cure and I won’t say definitively that you should go out and use this, but what I will say is that I believe it was crucial to my recovery,” he said. “I believe the entire mixture of drugs was crucial to my recovery.”

Daniel is one of a growing list of stars who are battling the COVID-19 virus – Tom Hanks, Idris Elba, Debi Mazar, Olga Kurylenko and former Games of Thrones castmates Indira Varma and Kristofer Hivju are all in quarantine after testing positive for the disease.
