Actor Tom Hanks is urging people to do three things to help stop the spread of the coronavirus amid the pandemic.

“At the very least, three tiny things (are) in everybody’s wheelhouse, if you choose to do them,” Hanks said during a Reuters Television interview. “Wear a mask, wash your hands, social distance. If you can’t do that, I don’t have much respect for you.”

He continued with an example of how to be a safe driver, “If you drive a car, you’ve got to use your turn signal, not drive too fast and avoid pedestrians.”

“Whether or not we like it, we’re all in this together,” Hanks said.

Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson tested positive for the coronavirus in March. They have since recovered.

The “Forrest Gump” actor made similar remarks last week during a press event, where he also emphasized the three things people can do.

“Those things are so simple, so easy, if anybody cannot find it in themselves to practice those three very basic things – I just think shame on you. Don’t be a p****, get on with it, do your part. It’s very basic,” Hanks said. “If you’re driving a car, you don’t go too fast, you use your turn signal and you avoid hitting pedestrians. My Lord, it’s common sense.”

Touching on his and his wife’s experience having coronavirus, he said they had about “10 days of very uncomfortable symptoms” that were “not life-threatening.”

“I guess we were model recoverers from COVID-19, but we were also isolated so that we would not give it to anybody else that we came in contact with, and since then have been doing the same isolating, social distancing that is being asked of the world so, we are fine,” Hanks said.
