Two-time Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks has disclosed that he and his wife, Rita Wilson have tested positive to the novel coronavirus pandemic in Australia.
The actor took to Instagram to let fans in on the new development saying he and Rita sought medical advice after experiencing the symptoms of cold and body aches.
He said they are now isolated in stable condition at an Australian hospital, officials said.
He made the revelation shortly after the World Health Organization (WHO) yesterday officially declared the coronavirus outbreak to be a pandemic.
Hanks wrote on Instagram: “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 were found to be positive”.
The Academy Award winner, whose films include Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan, said he and Wilson would keep the world “posted and updated”.
“We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?”
