Tom Hanks says he and his wife have coronavirus
Tom Hanks says he and his wife, Rita Wilson, have contracted the coronavirus.
In a Wednesday night tweet, Hanks, 63, explained that while in Australia, the couple experienced symptoms of the epidemic.
“We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus and found to be positive.”
The actor went on to say that he would be following the instruction of medical officials including testing, observation and isolation.
“Not more than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?” he wrote.
“Take care of yourselves,” he signed off.
