Celebrities Who Have Tested Negative For Coronavirus

As coronavirus continues to spread, so do conversations about the pandemic — especially involving those in Hollywood. Celebs like Naomi Campbell and Gwyneth Paltrow have shared the extreme ways they're trying to protect themselves. Others are giving back at this tough time, including Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds who donated $1 million to food banks. Singer John Legend performed a free concert via livestream, and he's not the only artist to do so. 

Of course, there's also been talk of which celebrities have been diagnosed with COVID-19. Actor Idris Elba opened up about testing positive — without showing symptoms — which gave an important lesson in how individuals could carry the virus without even realizing. Even so, Elba reminded people to stay calm, writing, "Stay home people and be pragmatic... No panic."

Tom Hanks, who also tested positive along with wife Rita Wilson, has been similarly reminding his followers, "Let's take care of ourselves and each other." And in another recent post, he wrote, "We are all in this together." Hanks also shared some good news: "One week after testing Positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same." It's certainly promising that his health hasn't declined and fans are relieved he's doing alright.

Since the news cycle changes on an hourly basis when it comes to COVID-19 updates, here's a handy list to keep track of all the celebrities who have tested negative thus far. 

According to an Entertainment Tonight report, this reality TV matriarch doesn't have coronavirus. A source told the outlet, "Kris Jenner has been tested for coronavirus after attending Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge's birthday bash a couple weeks ago." Because Grainge had tested positive, the 64-year-old momager wanted to be "proactive." The source noted that "Kris wasn't sick and didn't have any symptoms," but still wanted to be safe, and thankfully, she is.

Her famous daughters have been using their platforms to encourage social distancing. Kylie Jenner tweeted on March 17, "i hope everyone is feeling well! it's so important right now to self quarantine to ensure we aren't endangering ourselves or anyone who can't handle this virus." Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian similarly posted, "Please everyone, especially people who are young and healthy, pls take the directive to stay home seriously if you care about the health and safety of your mom, father, grandparents, sisters, brothers, children and community."

That's not the first time Kim K posted about the pandemic. Last week, she shared a video illustrating her new way to greet people to avoid a handshake: ankle bumping. Her daughter North even went as far as quarantining her dolls in a cardboard playhouse. The best part was that North's dolls resembled her parents, Kim and Kanye West, and she put a bottle of Purell in the dollhouse.

After he recently came in contact with two individuals who were positive, President Donald Trump was tested for coronavirus. Per CNN, the White House released a statement on March 14, which explained, "Last night after an in-depth discussion with the President regarding COVID-19 testing, he elected to proceed. One week after having dinner with the Brazilian delegation in Mar-a-Lago, the President remains symptom-free." 

CNN reported that Trump, who ultimately tested negative, claimed he did the test "only because the press is going crazy." Trump, along with his wife Melania, have been receiving flack over their responses to the virus. In Melania's case, critics believed her reaction was too delayed, whereas Trump initially underplayed the severity of the pandemic.

Trump isn't the only world leader who's come in close contact with the virus. Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau has been diagnosed with coronavirus, according to NPR. While Sophie's test was positive, a statement explained, "She is feeling well, is taking all the recommended precautions and her symptoms remain mild." She decided to quarantine for 14 days with her husband and their three kids. As for Justin himself, a statement (via USA Today) noted that he's "in good health with no symptoms."

Legendary singer Céline Dion is among those who tested negative for the virus. According to JustJared, Dion got cold-like symptoms and had to postpone two of her concerts. In an update on Facebook on March 10, the announcement read, "On Monday night, a day after completing a six-show run in the New York area, Celine began feeling the symptoms of a common cold. The symptoms persisted into Tuesday, and her doctors instructed her to rest for the next 5-7 days. After testing her, the doctors concluded that her virus was not related to COVID-19."

In response to the news, Dion said in the statement on her FB, "I'm so sorry for disappointing my fans in Washington D.C. and Pittsburgh... I hope everyone understands." And a few days later, the North American leg of her Courage World Tour through April 27 was postponed. The singer's shows will be rescheduled, per the follow-up Facebook announcement. 

Considering she wasn't feeling great anyway, hopefully the singer takes this time to get some well-deserved rest.

Over on Instagram, Heidi Klum revealed she was feeling ill and so was her rocker husband, Tom Kaulitz, who had just returned from a tour. Explaining that they'd been staying apart until getting their coronavirus test results, she wrote, "We don't want to spread germs and risk others getting sicker... even each other! As much as I want to embrace him and kiss him, it is more important to do the right thing and not spread further. ❤️"

While the model is still awaiting results and should hear back by March 19, Kaulitz has tested negative, per Page Six. She reportedly had written in response to a fan on Instagram, "Tom is ok, his came back negative." She also posted an Instagram Story update on March 18 snuggling her cat and wrote, "Day 7 in bed ....and feeling much better." 

Here's hoping Klum's test has the same result as her husband's — and that all people, famous or not, stay safe and healthy in these uncertain times.
