All the Celebrities Who Have Tested Positive for Coronavirus

As the coronavirus pandemic continues on, more and more celebrities are revealing their positive diagnoses.

In March 2020, Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson were two of the first stars to come forward, and others have followed in their footsteps. As everyone seems to be experiencing COVID-19 differently, celebrities who have tested positive for coronavirus have been sharing their symptoms and stories.

According to Tom, he and Rita “felt a bit tired, like [they] had colds and some body aches.” He continued, “Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers, too.” The couple decided to try and get tested, and, soon enough, they discovered they were living with the illness.

Instead of panicking, however, the Philadelphia star calmly laid out what life was looking like these days. “The medical officials have protocols that must be followed,” he told fans. “We [Hankses] 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?” Urging others to “take care” of themselves, he promised to keep his followers updated on his and Rita’s conditions.

The couple continued doing just that. “Hey, folks. Good news: One week after testing positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same,” he shared. “No fever, but [we’ve got] the blahs. Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch.” He kept things light as he joked there was some “bad news,” though: “My wife @ritawilson has won six straight hands of gin rummy and leads by 201 points.”

Fans and fellow celebrities alike were glad to see the stars were still doing well. “I love your style, still making funny jokes!” one Instagram user wrote. “Never give up. Everything is going to be alright.” Another added, “Excellent to hear that you are both doing OK.” Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards chimed in, “Wishing you both a speedy recovery.”

The Young and the Restless star Greg Rikaart, who later went on to test positive for the virus himself, shared similar sentiments. “We’ve been waiting for this update,” he said. “Happy to hear symptoms aren’t any worse. Speedy recovery, international treasures! ❤️”

It’s been over a year and a half since Tom and Rita’s COVID-19 diagnosis and many others have been affected.
