Tom Hanks on Wednesday confirmed that he and his wife Rita Wilson have tested positive for coronavirus — the same day that the mysterious pathogen caused the Dow Industrial to plunge, prompted the NBA to suspend the rest of its season, forced President Donald Trump to ban most travel from Europe and heightened anxiety around the world.

Hanks, a Bay Area native, two-time Academy Award winner and one of the most beloved figures in American film and public life, made his stunning announcement from Australia, where he has been in pre-production for his latest film, a Baz Luhrmann-directed biopic about Elvis Presley, Deadline reported.
