American actor Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, who are infected with the emerging coronavirus, announced yesterday that they are "in a better position", after nearly two weeks of stone in Australia.
The actor tweeted, "Hello friends, it has been two weeks since we first felt the symptoms, and we started to feel better", calling on his followers to respect the instructions and keep a distance between the person and the other.
"Prevention means that we do not transmit the virus to anyone, and that no one transmits it to us," he added. "That makes sense, isn't it?"
He added, "It will take time, but if we take care of each other, and if we help wherever we can, and together, we will facilitate things." We can get out of this crisis. ”
The Oscar-winning American actor, in the Gold Coast area near Brisbane (Central Eastern Australia), was to shoot a movie about Elvis Presley's biography directed by Australian Baz Luhrmann when the two men, both 63, were infected with the virus. As for Rita Wilson, an actress and singer, she held concerts in Sydney and Brisbane before she became aware of her HIV infection. The Australian authorities are trying to identify people who were in contact with the couple, because the infection may have passed to them.
Hanks was the first Hollywood star to announce that he was HIV positive with his wife on March 12.
The couple were admitted to the University Hospital on the Gold Coast, according to the Queensland state authorities (northeast), before they were allowed to leave to continue the home quarantine in an apartment.
