Hollywood Actor Tom Hanks has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

Hanks, 63, posted Wednesday on Instagram that while in Australia, he and his wife, Rita Wilson, came down with symptoms resembling a cold, as well as body aches and slight fevers.

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

The actor wrote that he and Wilson, an actor and producer, “will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires.”

“Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?” Hanks wrote.

Hanks ended the post by saying “We’ll keep the world posted and updated” and “Take care of yourselves!” A representative for Hanks confirmed the announcement.

Hanks, a two-time Oscar winner, is in Australia for pre-production of an untitled film about Elvis Presley, according to the entertainment website Deadline.

According to the World Health Organization, there are currently more than 120 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Australia.
