[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] Due to the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), famous American actors have also started practicing social distancing and voluntary quarantine measures.

According to major foreign media on the 16th (local time), Arnold Schwarzenegger, the lead actor of the 'Terminator' series and former governor of California, posted a video on his Twitter saying, "You should stay home as much as possible," and added, "Listen to the experts and ignore the fools."

Schwarzenegger filmed this video while sitting at his dining table feeding the pony he raises.

He added, "Do not go out, and do not go to restaurants."

Famous pop star Taylor Swift also posted on social networking services (SNS), saying, "Many gatherings and parties are still ongoing, but now is the time to live in isolation as much as possible," and "To prevent the spread of COVID-19, we must endure sacrifices."

American singer Ariana Grande said, "Taking this situation lightly is very dangerous and selfish," and another singer, Miley Cyrus, urged fans not to hoard supplies and to practice social distancing.

While famous US stars encourage social distancing and self-quarantine, the number of stars infected with COVID-19 is also increasing.

Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko, who played the 22nd Bond girl in the movie '007 Quantum of Solace,' and British actor Idris Elba, who appeared in 'Fast & Furious,' tested positive.

The couple Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, who were the first Hollywood stars to be diagnosed with COVID-19 and hospitalized, were discharged on this day. The American magazine People reported that Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson (63) were treated at a hospital in Queensland, Australia, and were discharged five days after the positive diagnosis to begin self-quarantine.
