Tom Hanks, wife tested positive for coronavirus
News from: CBS News
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have tested positive for coronavirus, the actor said on Twitter.
Hanks wrote that he and Wilson were diagnosed with the virus 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,” he said.
As for what’s next, he said “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?”
In a video posted on Instagram, the couple’s son Chet Hanks said “yeah, it’s true, my parents got coronavirus. Crazy.”
Chet said he had just gotten off the phone with them and explained, “they both are fine, they’re not even that sick. They’re not worried about it, they’re not tripping.” He said they were going through the “necessary health precautions.”
Like his father, Chet told everyone to “stay safe out there.”
Another son, Colin Hanks, tweeted that his parents are “receiving excellent care in Australia and are doing well (and in good spirits) given the circumstances.”
