On March 23, Hanks tweeted an update to his fans that read: ‘Hey, folks. Two weeks after our first symptoms and we feel better.
‘Sheltering in place works like this: You don’t give it to anyone -You don’t get it from anyone. Common sense, no? 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. Hanx.’
Meanwhile, Wilson has been sharpening her rap skills while in isolation.
She posted a four-minute long video, captioned ‘Quarantine Stir Crazy. See it to believe it,’ on Sunday on Instagram where she flawlessly spouts the lyrics to Naughty by Nature’s 1992 hit Hop Hop Hooray.
