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
He added that the medical team has taken over and that they are currently under quarantine.
“The medical officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks will be tested, observed and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires, Not much more to it than one-day at a time approach, no? We will keep the world posted and updated. Take care of yourselves!” Hanks tweeted
