Amid the global coronavirus concerns, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have confirmed they have the coronavirus.

From popular tv shows no longer having live audiences to U.S. campaign events going virtual to major events being canceled or postponed, the coronavirus is impacting many across the country as they take precautions.

While overseas in Australia, the actors made known late Wednesday that the two have been tested positive for the coronavirus.

“Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia,” Hanks wrote on social media, adding, “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.”

The actors concluded by advising others to “take care of yourselves!”

In response, their son Chet Hanks has spoken out about his parents testing positive for the coronavirus.

“What up everyone. Yeah, it’s true, my parents got coronavirus. Crazy,” Chet Hanks said in a video on Instagram, adding, “They’re both down in Australia right now because my dad was shooting a movie down there but I just got off the phone with them. They both are fine, they’re not even that sick.”

He concluded in the video, “I appreciate everyone’s concern and the well wishes but I think it’s all going to be alright but I appreciate it and just, everybody stay safe out there. Much love.”

There have been at least 1,269 people in the U.S. confirmed to have the coronavirus and 37 deaths, as of early Thursday.

President Donald Trump announced in an Oval Office address on Wednesday that the U.S. was restricting travel from 26 European countries for 30 days, as IJR previously reported.

This move stirred up a rebuke from the European Commission, as they said in response, “The coronavirus is a global crisis, not limited to any continent and it requires cooperation rather than unilateral action. The European Union disapproves of the fact that the U.S. decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation.”

“We must put politics aside, stop the partisanship, and unify as one nation and one family,” the U.S. president said during his address.
