Hollywood actor, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita have both tested positive to coronavirus which first broke out in Wuhan, China.

The couple who are currently in Australia are the first celebrities to go public with their diagnosis.

Tom Hanks disclosed their status via a post shared on social media.

He wrote: "Hello, folks. 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.

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.

Take care of yourselves! Hanx!"
