Indira Varma Becomes Second ‘Game Of Thrones’ Star To Test Positive For Coronavirus Following Kristofer Hivju

Game of Thrones star Indira Varma has revealed that she has tested positive for coronavirus. The actor took to Instagram to share the news on Wednesday. She is the second Game Of Thrones star to test positive for coronavirus. Kristofer Hivju, who played Tormund Giantsbane in Game of Thrones, also shared that he had tested positive for the COVID-19 infection earlier this week.

Indira Varma played the role of Ellaria Sand in the HBO mega hit series Game of Thrones. The actor took to Instagram, saying, “So sad our and so many other shows around the world have gone dark affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. We hope to be back soon and urge you all (and the govt) to support us when we do. Phoenix/ Seagull rising from the ashes. I’m in bed with it and it’s not nice. Stay safe and healthy and be kind to your fellow people.”

 

 

Indira Varma was starring in the modern take of Anton Chekhov’s play The Seagull in London’s West End before her coronavirus diagnosis. Game of Thrones alum Emilia Clarke was also a part of the project. The play has been put on hold due to the pandemic.

Indira Varma is not the first celebrity to test positive for coronavirus by a long shot. Earlier in the month, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson shared that they had tested positive for coronavirus. In addition, Idris Elba, Olga Kurylenko, Charlotte Lawrence and Rachel Matthews also announced that they had contracted the virus.
