Actor Hugh Sheridan has revealed he has tested positive for COVID-19, but is not experiencing any symptoms.
Sheridan has been self-isolating in a Sydney hotel having returned from the US.
On Instagram he told his followers, “If u missed the rather iconic moment Sunday when I was insta live “playing DJ” to entertain other quarantine peeps when cops came to my door mid set 👍🏽… I thought It best to fill the rest of u in. I’ve been quiet for the last few days cause I’ve been feeling all the varied emotions about my positive Covid test. I haven’t felt like talking to anyone much yet. I had a negative result when I arrived, I now know all my friends including who took me to LAX airport are all negative so it’s been confusing for me, it’s scary, frustrating & lonely. I always preach that it’s OK to not feel okay & to let people know how you feel.
“So by writing my honest feelings I’m trying to help release stigma around guys talking about feeling blue. I realise that there are SO MANY people in far worse situations than me right now, it’s the main reason I haven’t wanted to talk publicly about my own situation. I currently have no symptoms & haven’t had this whole time, I am SO LUCKY & I keep reminding myself to count each blessing 1 by 1.
“To everyone: this virus is seriously clever. Knowing now, that no one I saw back home overseas has it means I got it in a very short space of time (in transit or a surface) while I had minimal human contact.
“I want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to the quarantine staff for being so kind during this time, even if it’s just over the phone, u me help a lot! The RPA Virtual Hospital have also been amazingly informative & positive (emotionally). Thank u to to all the health workers out there working day & night for patients much worse off that me. I wanted to be honest with u because we all have good days & not so good days & without days like my last few the good ones wouldn’t feel as good!
“To everyone that received a positive Covid test, I now know how that feels, I wish we could all be together so we could offer each other a shoulder or even better a HUG! If I’m not on social media as much it’s not necessarily cause I’m down, it’s cause it can make me feel a lil worse for the moment. So I’m tuning out & taking time to focus on editing my script “The Dance”, appropriately it deals with how to get through! This too shall pass. I AM OK! 👌🏼 #somuchlove”
Sheridan is due to resume filming on Back to the Rafters for Amazon Prime which is hoping to restart soon.
Best wishes, here’s to a speedy recovery, Hugh!

I did work experience on the Five Bedrooms last year, met Hugh on my last day, we had a conversation for a while, great guy. Wishing him a speedy recovery
This virus knows no boundaries…😞
He may not be ill….but still terrifying and confronting to know it is in your body.
TEN news on ….2nd screen….looks like they were reading this….same pic and quote….
I wonder if the masked singer casts more recent test results will be publicised? i have a feeling that if 17 people tested positive so soon after being exposed then there is a lot more news to come considering the incubation period is 14 days.
That overly dramatic photo though!
Hope he continues to be ok.
The Insta posts that Rebecca Gibney posts with him have been so entertaining.
Stay safe everyone
““To everyone that received a positive Covid test, I now know how that feels,”
Well, not quite. He can’t really empathise with those on a ventilator.
But full marks for posting his support and encouragement.
Its been reported now that Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson and his whole family have now tested positive to Covid
Yep I just read that.
