March 13 (UPI) -- Tom Hanks is thanking those caring for him and his wife, actress Rita Wilson, while they are quarantined in Australia with the COVID-19 virus.
"We have COVID-19 and are in isolation so we do not spread it to anyone else. There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness. We are taking it one-day-at-a-time," the 63-year-old Oscar winner wrote in a statement posted on Twitter Thursday.
