To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive." Both Hanks and his wife are of 63 years of age and had symptoms like cold, body pain and fever. 

The actor also wrote that the Medical officials have protocols that must be followed and they will be under tests and be isolated as long as the public health and safety require them to do so.

Tom Hank's son Chet Hanks posted a video on Instagram in which he said, "I just got off the phone with them. They both are fine. They're not even that sick. They're not worried about it. They're not tripping but they're going through the necessary health precautions obviously. I don't think it's anything to be too worried about. I appreciate everyone's concern and well-wishers. But I think it's all going to be alright." 

Warner bros which are producing the film about the life of Elvis Presley in which Tom Hanks is playing the lead has said,  "We have been made aware that a company member from our Elvis feature film, which is currently in pre-production in The Gold Coast, Australia, has tested positive for COVID-19.
