Tom Hanks Says Follow Expert Advice After Getting Coronavirus

(Bloomberg) -- Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks and his actress wife, Rita Wilson, are taking it “one day at a time” after testing positive for the new coronavirus while in Australia for a movie shoot.

In a post on Twitter on Friday, the couple said they’re in isolation to not spread the virus further. They also thanked Australians for their support and urged people to heed the advice of experts and take care of others.

“There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness,” Hanks said. “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.”
