Will Smith is making the most of his self-isolation.

On Wednesday, the 51-year-old debuted his new Snapchat original series “Will From Home”, reuniting remotely with his friend and longtime rap collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff.

In a preview of the episode, Jeff reveals he may have contracted the novel coronavirus, though he didn’t get tested for it.

“I came home from my trip. I was like, ‘I feel like I’m coming down with something’ and got into bed, and I don’t remember the next 10 days,” he recalls. “I had a temperature that reached 103. I had the chills. I lost sense of smell. I lost sense of taste.”

“Wow,” Smith responds.

Jeff continues, “They gave me a flu test. And when I went and got the chest X-ray, she came in and said, ‘You have pneumonia in both your lungs.’”

Smith describes getting a call from Jeff’s wife Lynette: “That was scary because Lynette doesn’t panic and she called me with the panic vibes.”

He then joked, “So I just immediately called D-Nice to see if he would be available. I was like, ‘Not my DJ!'”

On a serious note, Jeff says, “Unfortunately, people think we’re at the end [of the pandemic], and I think we’re really at the beginning,” before adding, “Take yo a** in the house!”

 

Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you need to know:

Health officials caution against all international travel. Returning travellers are asked to self-isolate for 14 days in case they develop symptoms and to prevent spreading the virus to others.

Symptoms can include fever, cough and difficulty breathing — very similar to a cold or flu. Some people can develop a more severe illness. People most at risk of this include older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease. If you develop symptoms, contact public health authorities.

To prevent the virus from spreading, experts recommend frequent handwashing and coughing into your sleeve. They also recommend minimizing contact with others, staying home as much as possible and maintaining a distance of two metres from other people if you go out.
