Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are among seven new coronavirus cases made public in Queensland on Thursday, with the state maintaining its public health approach as the number of cases rise.

Hanks and Wilson confirmed on social media on Thursday that they had tested positive to the disease, with the pair understood to be in isolation in Gold Coast University Hospital.

Queensland Health refused to confirm that a 63-year-old man and 64-year-old woman from the United States who were listed among the seven new cases on Thursday were the high-profile couple.

"It’s my responsibility not to give away confidential patient details, that’s very important," Queensland Health director-general Dr John Wakefield said.
