Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson & More Celebs Share Positive Health Updates After Coronavirus Diagnoses
Weeks after testing positive for coronavirus, Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson are doing much “better.”
On Sunday, Tom shared an update on their health, tweeting, “Hey, folks. Two weeks after our first symptoms and we feel better.”
He added, “Sheltering in place works like this: You don't give it to anyone — You don't get it from anyone. Common sense, no?” he wrote. “Going to take awhile, but if we take care of each other, help where we can, and give up some comforts… this, too, shall pass. We can figure this out.”
Rita is well enough to rap while they remained quarantined in Australia. She posted a video of herself rapping Naughty by Nature's hit song “Hip Hop Hooray,” captioning the post, “Quarantine Stir Crazy.”
Rita and Tom aren't the only ones improving — actress Olga Kurylenko is also “completely recovered.” Over the weekend, she shared on Instagram, “For one week I felt pretty bad and was mostly in bed, sleeping, with high fever and strong headache. The second week, the fever was gone but some light cough appeared and I felt very tired. By the end of the second week I felt totally fine. Cough is almost gone although I still cough in the mornings but then it completely goes away for the day! I'm fine!”

Just days after revealing his positive test, Daniel Dae Kim is “back to normal.” Crediting the effects of hydroxychloroquine, he said in an Instagram video on Saturday. Yes, this is the drug that the President mentioned the other day. It is also the drug that Dr. Anthony Fauci cautioned us about. He said that evidence that the drug was promising is anecdotal, and that is correct. It means it wasn't studied, and it's only based on personal accounts. Well, add my name to those personal accounts, because I am feeling better.”
Kim also revealed that he's taking Tamiflu, Zpack, and using an inhaler to help his recovery.
