.TomHanks and RitaWilson have become the first celebrities to announce they've tested positive for Coronavirus.
As of Wednesday, 122 cases of coronavirus have been identified in Australia. That's a small number compared to America's total, but is expected to grow.
Hanks' announcement came in the midst of President Trump's televised address on the pandemic. Trump announced that all travel to and from continental Europe will be halted for the next 30 days. . Hanks and Wilson's announcement could help put a public face on coronavirus for many Americans. In most cases, those with coronavirus have been reported in this country as statistics, not actual human beings. The news may cause many to take the threat of the growing pandemic more seriously. Though, given the spread of the virus, it's unlikely they'll be the last people in the public eye to contract it.
