Tom Hanks Has Coronavirus & the NBA Canceled Their Season

Okay, now we're concerned.

Hollywood A-lister Tom Hanks and his wife have been diagnosed with the coronavirus and so has NBA star Rudy Gobert. The NBA has canceled the rest of their season indefinitely.

Fox News reports:

Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson tested positive for the coronavirus, according to a statement posted by Hanks to social media on Wednesday evening.
“Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia. 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," the 63-year-old actor wrote in a statement on Twitter.
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!”

The outbreak is also affecting basketball fans:

The NBA suspended its season indefinitely on Wednesday night after a player on the Utah Jazz preliminarily tested positive for coronavirus.
“The NBA is suspending game play following the conclusion of tonight’s schedule of games until further notice,” the league said in a statement. “The NBA will use this hiatus to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the coronavirus pandemic.”
League officials did not identify which Jazz player tested positive. However, a source with knowledge of the situation said the player was Jazz center Rudy Gobert.
The results came shortly before Utah's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena, prompting the game's immediate cancellation. An initial announcement said the cancellation was "due to unforeseen circumstances."
