Hivju made sure to note that, although he had to recover from the coronavirus, he was not hit nearly as hard as some other people in other parts of the world. 

"We were lucky to only have mild symptoms of the Covid 19," he added. "We send our love and thoughts to all of the people where the virus has hit much harder, and to everyone who has lost their loved ones due to the Cornonavirus."

The star, known for playing the gruff, battle-hardened Tormund Giantsbane on the hit HBO drama, ended his note with a message of gratitude and a PSA to fans to stay safe during this difficult time.

"Thank you for all of your support, and please remember to stay vigilant and keep your distance, wash your hands, and most of all ; take care of each other in this strange time," he concluded. "Lots of love from us."

On March 16, the actor posted a different photo of him and his wife to Instagram to announce to fans that he had tested positive for coronavirus.
