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.
He added: "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.

While speaking to reporters on the red carpet, she avoided air kisses and kept her arms crossed over her chest.
Love these Hanks! On the flip side although in Australia how are they able to get tested + hospital isolation room etc? Because rest of us can’t find or get tested until it’s almost too late. Either equality or they need to pay it forward 4 those who can’t afford.
Why are they making a movie about Elvis in Australia?
They'll be fine.
Need!? Who needs?!
Great 24-old update
So, when they recover, the Left Media will have a hard time convincing everyone to SHUT IT DOWN, right?
mcm_ct This asshole isn’t helping maintain calm. Jesus!
Why is an “Elvis Presley” movie being filmed in Australia
The name of the movie is Strewth, Sneeze, Sheep Shearing and the King. Original screenplay by 'Anonymous'.
Is he gonna steal music from Black people and have the audacity to be racist? It needs to be historically correct. 🤔😂😂😁
In the future biopic where Hanks will be playing himself it’ll be revealed he voluntarily contracted the virus to unite the world against it. Legend.
I’ve heard reports were it starts as a cold, then flu like symptoms and full on pneumonia, the sickness taking over 30 days. I am afraid this might be just the beginning of a long haul. Prays for Tom & Rita and to all who are infected with the COVID-19 🦠🙏🏻😷😍
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Prayers 🙏🙏 get well soon !!
'felt a bit tired' 'and some body aches' And he found this alarming? That's every day for a fat old man like Tom.
There’s no body aches associated with the Corona virus. 🤨
So sorry...at least he was in Australia so they could get tested quickly.
Next to storming the beach in Normandy, 9/11 and Gigli...I can't imagine anything worse. Hang in there.
Wait, so you mean that they weren't going to fucking die because they're not 70 years old and to the average person this is just a bad cold? Cancel everything
Sounds horrible
🙏🏻❤️
YALL WANT SUM. WELL YOU GOT ME. FIGHT FOR YOUR MAN BITCH. 🐕🦺😍🤣
our most cherished old person! 2020 really giving 2019 a run for it’s money
Can we not put his age like he died
Oh no 😟 Love you America's Uncle Tom 🤠 Be well TomHanks and of course sending well wishes to your wife too.
😂
I know he's versatile but please tell me he was not playing Elvis.
'as yet titled'
Hopefully this national treasure will recover
YALL AIN'T GETTING NO CONTRACTS OR NUFFIN. FACE COURT ACTIONS, COURT MARTIAL AND DEATH.🤣🐕🦺😍
