Actor Matt Damon's elder daughter tested positive for COVID-19 in New York

Actor Matt Damon has revealed that his elder daughter Alexis has been tested positive for COVID-19. The Mystic Pizza star revealed that while his daughter is in New York the rest of the family is in Ireland. The actor had been in Dublin shooting 'The Last Duel' when the country began to shut down over COVID-19 concerns. Damon, along with wife Luciana Barroso, and children, Isabella, 13, Gia, 12, and Stella, 9, stayed in Ireland.

Damon made a surprise appearance on a local radio show where he talked about how Alexis was diagnosed with coronavirus early on. "I'm in the middle of a movie that I shot the first half in France and we were moving to Ireland and kind of right when we arrived in Ireland, the movie was shut down, our oldest daughter's in college. Obviously that's been shut down, but she's in New York City. She had COVID really early on along with her roommates and got through it fine," Damon said. Alexis is the actor's stepdaughter from his wife Luciana Bozan Barroso's previous marriage.
