Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson are now out of hospital after testing positive for coronavirus last week.

Their son Chet revealed the news in an Instagram post yesterday. In the video, he said: "A quick update on my folks - they're out of the hospital.

"They're still self-quarantined obviously, but they're feeling a lot better, so that's a relief."

Hanks and his wife revealed they had tested positive for Covid-19 - the infection that is sweeping the globe in an unprecedented modern pandemic.

Last week, he gave fans an update after he and his wife Rita Wilson tested positive for coronavirus while in Australia.

Positing a selfie onto social media, the Hollywood actor wrote: "Hello folks. Rita Wilson and I want to thank everyone here Down Under who are taking such good care of us.

"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.

"There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no?

"Remember, despite all the current events, there is no crying in baseball."

Fans around the world were shocked when the star and his wife revealed their diagnosis on 12 March.

The Castaway actor explained how they both started suffering from body aches as well as changes in their body temperature. It wasn't until they visited a doctor that it was confirmed they had Covid-19.
