Coronation Street Blog: Corrie actor self-isolates over coronavirus fears

An un-named Coronation Street actor has self-isolated over coronavirus fears.

The tabloids report today that the actor is showing no symptoms of the virus but has recently returned from an overseas holiday to an affected area.

The actor has been advised to take two weeks off work and stay away from the cobbles.

The isolation period has meant writers have had to re-write some scenes but insiders say the disruption has so far been “minimal”.

Mr Curry Sauce told The Mirror: “The actor spoke to health professionals after coming back home. They aren’t displaying any symptoms but were advised to self-isolate as a precautionary measure because of where they had been. We film six to eight weeks in advance so there has been room for manoeuvre."
