Actor Tom Hanks has tested positive for the Coronavirus.

Tom Hanks, who is 63, revealed in an Instagram post that while in Australia he and his wife had cold-like symptoms and were tested positive for coronavirus.

“To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive,” Hanks wrote.

Hanks wrote he and Wilson, “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?” Hanks wrote.

Hanks ended the Instagram post by saying  “We’ll keep the world posted and updated” and “Take care of yourselves!”

Tom Hanks is a two-time Oscar winner and was in Australia for pre-production on an upcoming Elvis Presley movie, according to Deadline.

“We are working closely with the appropriate Australian health agencies to identify and contact anyone who may have come in direct contact with the individual,” Warner Bros. said. “The health and safety of our company members is always our top priority, and we are taking precautions to protect everyone who works on our productions around the world.”
