"The Good Doctor" actor, 65, revealed that earlier this month that he'd tested positive for the virus alongside his wife, Sheila Kelley.

"On Election Day I tested positive for Covid-19. This has been the most bizarre week of our lives. @thesheilakelley is also positive. This is tough," he tweeted last week.

It appears the battle has been "tough," to say the least, as Kelley, 59, later said online that her husband's battle was difficult.

Production of "The Good Doctor" has not been affected by the actor's diagnosis, Deadline reports, as the shooting schedule has been adjusted to accommodate his inability to film. Kelley also has a recurring role on the show.

The outlet reports that they likely were exposed to coronavirus off-set, as any on-set transmission would mean the show would immediately be shut down.
