Tom Hanks and wife infected with coronavirus



Paul Goldberg reports in News Thud,
Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have just announced they tested positive for the coronavirus.

Both are in Australia working on Baz Luhrmann’s new Elvis Presley film from Warner Bros.

Hanks is set to play Presley’s manager Colonel Tom Parker. From Deadline:

Deadline received a statement directly from Hanks:

“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!” – Tom Hanks
