Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have tested positive for coronavirus while in Australia for a film project.

Hanks and Wilson, both 63, were in isolation in hospital on the Gold Coast in eastern Australia after being confirmed with the disease, Queensland state health officials said.

"Hello folks, Rita and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches," Hanks wrote in a statement on Twitter.
