Tom Hanks Tests Positive For Coronavirus

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have tested positive for the coronavirus. Both were in Australia for the pre-production of Baz Luhrmann’s untitled Elvis Presley film from Warner Bros.

Hanks took to Instagram to break the news, writing: “Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia. 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. Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. 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? We’ll keep the world posted and updated. Take care of yourselves! Hanx!”

At least the man seems to be in high spirits. And I guess it was really only a matter of time before a celebrity test positive for the virus. Just kind of crazy that it ended up being Tom Hanks. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below or on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram!
