"What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed," he wrote. "We Hanks' 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?"
Tom promised to keep their fans informed on their status, and it looks like their sons are stepping up to help in that regard as both Chet and Colin Hanks took to social media to share updates on their parents' condition. See their posts here.

A day after Tom revealed he and Rita had been quarantined, the Oscar winner shared an update and thanked everyone for their support.
Captioning a sweet selfie with Rita, Tom began, "Hello folks. @ritawilson 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," he continued. "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?"
Then quoting his classic 1992 film, "A League of Their Own," Hanks signed off by writing: "Remember, despite all the current events, there is no crying in baseball. Hanx".
A few days later, Tom gave another update, explaining that while their fevers had gone away, their symptoms hadn't changed.
And as always, the actor made sure to see the glass half full and joked how the "bad news" update was that Rita has been beating him at Gin Rummy.
"Hey folks. Good News: One week after testing Positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same. No fever but the blahs," he captioned a photo of a typewriter, which coincidentally has the word "corona" on it. "Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch. Bad news: My wife @ritawilson has won 6 straight hands of Gin Rummy and leads by 201 points. But I have learned not to spread my Vegemite so thick. I travelled here with a typewriter, one I used to love. We are all in this together. Flatten the curve. Hanx"

"As the flight was close to landing, I started noticing some scratchiness in my throat, which is unlike how I usually get sick," he continued. "When I landed, I called my family doctor in Hawaii and he told me to monitor my symptoms."
"To be safe, when I got home, I quarantined myself in a room in the house," he added. "I tried to rest on my own, but later that night, I started feeling tightness in my chest, body aches and my temperature started to rise, so he then told me to get tested."
