00:00My wife Lauren, as well as my two baby girls, and myself, we have all tested positive for COVID-19.
00:08Dwayne Johnson shared a video message on his Instagram Wednesday to reveal that he, his wife, and two young daughters have tested positive for COVID-19.
00:17However, he assured fans that they are no longer contagious after a three-week battle.
00:21The actor revealed they contracted the virus after being around family friends.
00:25And I can tell you that this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family.
00:34He went on to explain that testing positive for the virus is much different than overcoming nasty injuries, being evicted, or being broke, which he says he has faced more than a few times.
00:44He explained that battling the virus has been more personal.
00:46My number one priority is to always protect my family and protect my children, my loved ones.
00:53Johnson recounted how his children had sore throats in the early days of having the virus, but have bounced back, and now life is back to normal, with happy babies running around and playing.
01:02However, Johnson admits that for himself and his wife, the journey was more of a rough go with COVID-19, and they did isolate as a family after testing positive.
01:10Johnson also acknowledged that everyone has been affected by the virus in some way, whether battling the virus itself or having loved ones sick.
01:16We are counting our blessings right now because we're well aware that it isn't always the case that you get on the other end of COVID-19 stronger and healthier.
01:26He added that he understood the desire to see and be with loved ones, especially amid difficult times.
01:32But after contracting the virus, he now has extreme discipline with health and safety measures for people he cares about,
01:38including advocating for people to be tested before visiting him and his family.
01:42The actor also emphasized the importance of wearing masks.
01:44After a three-week battle, Johnson said that what helped his family recover was their commitment to wellness,
01:50emphasizing the importance of doing whatever one can to boost their immune system as COVID-19 continues on.
