Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have been providing regular updates on their health on their Instagram account since they were diagnosed with the Corona Virus.

Their latest update says: 

Hey folks. Good News: One week after testing Positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same. No fever but the blahs. Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch. Bad news: My wife ritawilson has won 6 straight hands of Gin Rummy and leads by 201 points. But I have learned not to spread my Vegemite so thick. I travelled here with a typewriter, one I used to love. We are all in this together. Flatten the curve. Hanx

Last Friday, they shared a photo along with a caption that gave followers an update on how the couple is doing since their diagnosis. Hanks and Wilson assured fans that Australian Doctors were “taking such good care” of them as they are currently in isolation to avoid spreading the virus. 

“We are taking it one-day-at-a-time,” the caption reads. “There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no? Remember, despite all the current events, there is no crying in baseball.”

Earlier this week, Hanks took to Instagram where he announced he and his wife had tested positive for Coronavirus. The post was accompanied by a photo of a medical glove in a biohazard trash bin.

"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 wrote that he and Rita came down with fever and chills, and the two went to get tested and are now taking the situation one day at a time. 

With the news, their son Chet undoubtedly received many messages regarding his parents. He made an Instagram video to share his thoughts and updates saying:

"What's up everyone. Yeah, it's true, my parents got coronavirus, crazy. They're both down in Australia right now because my dad was shooting a movie down there," Chet remarks in the video. "But I just got off the phone with them and 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. But I don't think it's anything to be too worried about."

"I appreciate everyone's concern and the well wishes, but I think it's all gonna be alright. I appreciate it and just, everybody, stay safe out there. Much love," he added at the end.

Chet's brother Colin Hanks also made his own statement on Instagram thanking everyone for their support and ensuring the public that his parents are in good spirits:

We’re glad to see Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson in good spirits! We wish them a speedy recovery.
