Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson are back in their hometown of Los Angeles, reports Page Six Saturday. The two became infected with the coronavirus in Australia and had to recover there in isolation.
Two weeks ago, Hanks and Wilson were released from the hospital. “We feel better,” Hanks recently wrote on Twitter.
According to authorities in Australia, the two contracted the virus either in their home country of the United States or while traveling from the US to Australia.
Hanks and Wilson were in Australia because the actor filmed there for a film about Elvis Presley, in which he plays his iconic manager Colonel Tom Parker.

The coronavirus in short
- The coronavirus mainly spreads from person to person via sneezing and cough drops. The chance of becoming infected through surfaces such as door handles is small. This chance decreases if you wash your hands often.
- You can considerably reduce the chance of spreading by keeping at least 1.5 meters away from others.
- An infected person infects two to three others on average. Precautions are necessary to contain this.
- The vast majority of patients have mild (flu-like) complaints.
- Almost all deaths involve the elderly or other vulnerable persons, such as heart, lung or diabetes patients. If everyone complies with the measures, this reduces their risks.
