Oscar winning actor tom hanks and his wife actress rita wilson test positive for coronavirus

Yes, it's true. On March 11, 2020, it was announced that Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks and his wife, actress Rita Wilson, had tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

The couple, who are both 63 years old, were in Australia at the time, where they were filming an untitled Elvis Presley biopic. They were in isolation in a Queensland hospital, where they were being treated for their symptoms.

Tom Hanks, who has won two Academy Awards for Best Actor, took to social media to share the news, saying: "Hello, folks. Big news over here. 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."

He added: "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?"

Rita Wilson also took to social media to share her own experience, saying: "I'm so grateful to be here in Australia, where I'm being taken care of by the wonderful medical team here. I'm feeling better, but I'm still not out of the woods yet. I'm grateful for the love and support of my family and friends, and I'm grateful for the medical care I'm receiving."

The news of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's positive test results sparked widespread concern and attention, as the couple is well-known and respected in the entertainment industry. Their diagnosis served as a reminder of the global spread of the virus and the importance of taking precautions to prevent its spread.

Fortunately, both Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have since recovered from their illness and have returned to their normal activities.
