Oscar-winning Hollywood actor Tom Hanks has announced that he and wife Rita Wilson have tested positive for the new coronavirus in Australia, BBC reported.

In an Instagram post, the actor said he and his wife, both 63, were in Australia when they began to experience fatigue, chills and slight fevers, which are all symptoms of the COVID-19 disease caused by the new virus.

"To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive" Hanks revealed.

He added “ "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?"

The US couple had been on the Gold Coast, where Hanks was working on a film about the life of Elvis Presley.

Australia has more than 120 reported cases of the coronavirus and three deaths.
