Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks and his wife, actress Rita Wilson, had both tested positive for coronavirus in Australia, the actor posted on Twitter on Thursday morning. The actor said that he and Rita, who are both 63, were tested in Australia, where he is working on a film. The two went ahead for tests after they felt tired and achy with slight fevers. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, they tested for the coronavirus and were found to be positive, Tom wrote in the tweet.
Now, the actor posted a selfie with Rita on Twitter with an update note on their health. "Hello folks," Tom captioned their cheerful selfie. "@ritawilson and 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. There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness. We are taking it one-day-at-a-time. There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no? Remember, despite all the current events, there is no crying in baseball," he concluded, referencing his iconic line from A League Of Their Own.
