The 63-year-old actor said they will be “tested, observed and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires.”


“Not much more to it than a one-day-a-time approach, no?” added Hanks.


Hanks, who also posted his message on social media, signed off saying: “Take care of yourselves!”


Hanks and Wilson, 63, were married in 1988.
