Tom Hanks back home after being cured of COVID

March 28, 2020 10:05

Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson returned to Los Angeles on Friday after spending more than two weeks in quarantine in Australia after testing positive for the coronavirus.

Hanks, a double Oscar winner and one of Americas most beloved stars, and Wilson were the first big celebrities to announce they had tested positive for the disease.

They were treated in hospital in Australia and isolated themselves for a further period after leaving.

Hanks last post on his Twitter account on Sunday said it had been two weeks since their first symptoms and that they were feeling better.

Hanks was in Australia working on a movie about Elvis Presley when he announced on 11 March that he and Wilson had tested positive for the disease.

Filming has since been shut down on the movie, and on hundreds of other film and television productions worldwide.
