    It was not immediately clear whether DeGeneres’ wife, retired actress Portia de Rossi, also contracted COVID-19.

    DeGeneres is the latest celebrity to announce a positive coronavirus test. Several others, including Tom Hanks, Idris Elba, Bryan Cranston, Kevin Heart and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, have also tested positive for COVID-19 since the global coronavirus pandemic began late last year.
