TOM HANKS and Rita Wilson are feeling better two weeks after first exhibiting symptoms of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

On Sunday, the Academy Award-winning actor shared a statement on Twitter, updating his fans on their health after testing positive for the virus earlier this month.

“Hey, folks. Two weeks after our first symptoms and we feel better,” Hanks wrote in a joint statement with his wife.

The couple then urged their fans and followers to stay home and self isolate, reminding people that it was the most effective way to avoid the virus, as well as help stop the spread.

The “Forrest Gump” actor and his wife had been on Australia’s Gold Coast for the pre-production of Baz Luhrmann’s untitled Elvis Presley biopic, in which Hanks plays the music icon’s longtime manager Colonel Tom Parker.

Filming for the movie has been halted following his diagnosis. Hanks is the only person on set believed to have tested positive for the virus, according to a representative from the film in Australia.
