Photos & Video: Tom Hanks & his wife, Rita Wilson test positive to #coronavirus

Actor Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, they revealed last night.
The Forrest Gump actor and his wife, both 63, announced the positive test results on Instagram urging the public to 'take care'. The couple are currently in the Gold Coast, Australia where the Oscar winner is filming an untitled Baz Luhrmann-directed Elvis Presley film produced by Warner Bros. Hanks revealed he and his wife experienced symptoms including the common cold, body aches and chills before they decided to get tested. Before their diagnosis, the couple had visited crowded Australian hotspots including Bondi Beach and the Sydney Opera House - raising fears that others were infected. The opera house was today trying to track down 207 people who could have come into contact with the couple at a concert on Saturday night.
The A-list couple are now in isolation at Gold Coast University Hospital where health officials say they are in a 'stable condition'.
