His family includes his wife Lauren, and their daughters, 4-years-old Jasmine, and 2-years-old Tiana. In the 11:35 minutes long video, the actor explained how they are handling the situation.

“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, and for me, personally, as well.

He then shared the good news. "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,” he said.

Dwayne Johnson explains how his small daughters faced coronavirus. He reveals that they got COVID-19 from really close-friends.
