Dwayne “The Rock Johnson” announced on Tuesday night that he and his entire family had tested positive for COVID-19.

In an Instagram post, the 48-year-old actor revealed that he and his wife, Lauren, and their daughters Jasmine, 4, and Tiana, 2, all have contracted the virus.

“I wanted to give you guys a little helpful update on things that have been going on on my end for the past two-and-a-half to three weeks now. So the update is this: my wife Lauren as well as my two baby girls and myself, we have all tested positive for COVID-19,”

“I could tell you that this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family, and for me, too, personally as well,” he continued. “And I’ve gone through some doozies in the past.”

Johnson said that he and his family contracted the virus from family friends and after a few weeks of dealing with the illness they now feel better.

“Testing positive for COVID-19 is much different than overcoming nasty injuries, or being evicted, or even being broke, which I have been more than a few times,” “is because my No.1 priority is to always protect my family. And protect my children, my loved ones.”

“I wish it was only me who tested positive, but it wasn’t, it was my entire family, so this one was a real kick in the gut. But I am happy to tell you guys that we as a family are good. We’re on the other end of it, we’re on the other side. We’re no longer contagious, and we are — thank God — we are healthy.We’ve gotten through COVID-19 stronger and healthier,”

The Rock had a message for all of his fans after contracting COVID-19.

My message to all of you around the [world]. Stay disciplined. Boost your immune system. Commit to wellness. Wear your mask. Protect your family. Be strict about having people over your house or gatherings. Stay positive. And care for your fellow human beings. Stay healthy, my friends.”
