Tom Hanks' Sister Says Quarantined Actor Is 'Not Great But Okay'

Tom Hanks is utilizing a "one-day-at-a-time approach" as he remains self-quarantined on the heels of his coronavirus diagnosis.

Speaking with the Daily Mail, the actor's sister, Sandra Hanks Benoiton, revealed that Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, are trying to navigate these waters as best as possible. "I have communicated with my brother. He's not great, but still okay. [Am I] shocked? No. He's an actor, not a god [but] medical care in Australia is good," she told the celebrity gossip outlet.

As you already know, Hanks and Wilson were two of the first celebrities to announce their COVID-19 diagnosis. Since going public with their positive tests for the virus in Australia, the pair moved out of a hospital and entered a private home for quarantine purposes.

How is Hanks Benoiton doing in the midst of the outbreak? The sibling told the tabloid that she is currently quarantined at home in Italy. "We’re okay here... staying home is fine with us, and this community is wonderful," she admitted. "I'm lucky to be here, the spirit of the people is amazing! The US and the UK are failing miserably, however."
