West Wing And The good doctor Star Richard Schiff is being treated in hospital after contracting COVID-19.
The 65-year-old actor, who tested positive on the day of the US presidential election, updated his fans on Twitter, telling them he was being treated with steroids, oxygen and the drug remdesivir.
He added that his wife, actress Sheila Kelley, “is home and doing better, but still quite ill.”

Covid update.
Thank you all for so much love and support. You make it so much easier for @thesheilakelley and me.
I’m in the hospital taking Remdesivir, O2 and steroids and every day is showing improvement. Sheila is home and doing better but still pretty sick. Love you all. https://t.co/sWjOetsgUP— Richard Schiff (@Richard_Schiff) 16 November 2020
Schiff played White House Communications Director Toby Ziegler in The west wing, and Dr. Aaron Glassman in the ABD drama The good doctor.
Kelley is known for her roles in shows such as LA Law And Sisters.
Last week she told her followers on Instagram: “My son and I are still riding this weird Covid rollercoaster up and down and around.
“I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life. One minute I’m feeling pretty good and the next I’m having trouble breathing. What I do know is that the relationship between you and your body is everything when you contract this virus.
“Where did we catch it? I don’t know. Could have been at the gym. Could have been takeout. It’s impossible to know.
“Keep your masks on. Wash your hands. Stay away from the virus. It’s a bitch. We love you.”
