Tom Hanks-Coronavirus Health Update: Woman Who Clicked Photo With Actor Goes For Test

Actor Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson were tested positive for the coronavirus last week. As per a report published in a website based out of Australia’s New South Wales region, a woman who posed for a picture with Hanks at a restaurant in Australia has undergone the test for COVID-19.

Hanks was shooting for his upcoming film in Australia when he contracted the deadly virus and went into isolation under medical supervision along with his wife who also got infected. As mentioned in the report published on the website that goes by the name Illawarra Mercury, a woman got clicked with Hanks and Rita days before they were tested positive of the virus at a Sydney restaurant. It is, however, not clear whether it was just that woman or a group of women she was with who also posed with the actor. One of the women from the group has been tested negative though. The woman who clicked the picture was identified as an Aussie beautician from Wollongong.

Hello, folks. @ritawilson 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!

It was on Friday morning that Hanks and his wife had announced that they felt mild fever and chills and decided to go for tests where they found out that they were infected with the deadly coronavirus which has killed over 4000 across the world. In India, 107 cases of the coronavirus have been detected with two reported deaths so far.

Later, in another post that he made on social media, Hanks revealed that both he and Rita are positive about their recovery and have been kept under isolation for 14 days in Australia. They were the first celebrities to have gone public with their diagnosis.
