"What up everyone. Yeah, it's true, my parents got coronavirus. Crazy," said Chet in the video. "They're both down in Australia right now because my dad was shooting a movie down there but I just got off the phone with them. They both are fine, they're not even that sick."

Chet continued, explaining that his parents aren't worried nor are they "trippin' but they're going through the necessary health precautions..."

“Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia," read Hanks' caption. "We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive."

He continued, "Well, now. What to do next?  The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. 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? We’ll keep the world posted and updated. Take care of yourselves!”
