Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson confirmed they have been released from the hospital days after announcing their respective coronavirus diagnoses.
Hanks, 63, wrote on Instagram over the weekend that “I want to thank everyone here Down Under who are taking such good care of us. We have Covid-19 and are in isolation so we do not spread it to anyone else.”
In a statement last week, the Academy Award-winning actor said, “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.”
Hanks said he and his wife contracted the virus while filming a new movie in Australia.
The update on Hanks’ case comes as actor Idris Elba wrote that he tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the Wuhan coronavirus.
