Speaking of the former WWE wrestler The Rock, he recently went on social media revealing that he and his family had contracted coronavirus.
The actor shared the news in an Instagram video revealing his wife, Lauren Hashian, and their two daughters, two-year-old Tiana and four-year-old Jasmine, all tested positive.
Dwayne said it was the most challenging thing they had ever gone through as a family.
He said the babies had a few sore throats but apart from that it was life as normal but he and Lauren had much more difficult times with the virus but got through it.
The movie star noted they got the virus from close family friends who were devastated that they were the ones who transmitted it to them.
He said they were very disciplined and in lockdown but again felt the need to connect with family which led to the risk. The star added he would follow new severe rules to ensure the family was safe.
