He says they’re taking each day as it comes, and we’ll keep the world ‘posted and updated’.

Hanks has been on the Gold Coast with his family to film the new Elvis movie.

He says his family will now undergo testing as well.

“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,” his post reads.

It’s understood the set of the biopic has now been shut down.
