In an Instagram announcement, Hanks posted a picture of a glove and bag and wrote, "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!"
The couple was on Gold Coast where the superstar was working on a film based on the life of Elvis Presley. Guardian newspaper reported that the cast and crew of the film received a mail early on Thursday morning that had the instructions to stay away from the set after a production member was tested positive for the disease.
In a statement, Warner Bros, the production company behind the film, said that they were taking precautions to protect all its employees.
