Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have left the hospital after being diagnosed with Covid-19.

A representative for the couple told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday that the couple are now under quarantine inside a rented house in Australia – where they were at the time of the diagnosis.

Hanks announced last week that he and Wilson had both tested positive for the virus.

“We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too,” Hanks wrote in a public announcement.

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

The actor later shared a couple of updates and thanked the professionals caring for he and Wilson in Australia.

Wilson also shared a special quarantine playlist on Spotify.

The Independent has contacted the pair’s representatives for more information.
