Actor Jason Momoa says he is recovering at home after testing positive for Cvoid-19 after he attended the London premiere of Dune.

Momoa has not revealed if he has been vaccinated and posting on his Instagram account, the 42-year-old Aquaman star said that he "got hit with COVID" after going to the UK premiere of the new sci-fi epic Dune and spending time with a large number of people.

"I got hit with COVID right after the premiere. There was a lot of people I met in England, so got a lot of aloha from people. And who knows?" the Hawaii native said, adding, "either way, I'm doing fine."

"Thank you for all your concerns and love," he said. "And, yeah, I'm just camped out in my house. Mahalo for all the love and support."

Momoa, who plays warrior Duncan Idaho in Dune, said that he's isolating with his "roommate," skateboarder Erik Ellington, reports People.com.

"Everyone wants to know how COVID is going, it's going pretty good," he said in another update, as he filmed Ellington doing tricks on his skateboard in the house. "Yeah, we're having a ball."

According to news agency Reuters, England is seeing a spike in new Cvoid-19 cases after a mild summer, with around 1 in 50 people testing positive in the week ending October 22.

Momoa, who is a father of two, has been filming his DC Comics sequel, Aquaman and the Last Kingdom, in England over the last few weeks.
