These are the first celebrities affected by the coronavirus

The pandemic virus COVID-19 has already entered the world of entertainment. It was to be expected, since part of the work of singers, actors, and many celebrities consists of traveling on tours or filming, which increases their risk of contagion from the coronavirus. This is the case of these celebrities, who seem to be the first in the entertainment world to be infected with Coronavirus.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson are currently in Australia, where the Baz Luhrman film about Elvis Presley is being filmed, in which the famous actor will play the manager of the legendary singer. It was a rumor that one of the members of the Warner Bros. production could perhaps be infected with COVID-19, and to end the suspicions, both the actor and Warner released an official statement confirming that it was the two time Oscar winner and his wife.

In his statement, Hanks seems calm, saying that he and Wilson have felt somewhat exhausted, with flu symptoms and fevers that come and go, that they were examined and tested positive for Coronavirus. He also says that what follows now is simply to follow to the letter all official medical protocols . He, his wife and all those who have had contact with them and are in contact with them will remain in quarantine and under medical observation.

Rudy Gobert

This is a French basketball player currently playing in the Utah Jazz in the NBA. A few days ago at a press conference, the basketball player had mocked the security measures taken by the league and at the end of the press conference, he had jokingly tampered with the table and the microphones. Now, just before the game against Oklahoma, an NBA player was confirmed to be infected with COVID-19 and later reconfirmed to be him. The player since has published on his Instagram account a long reflection and apologies for his joke a few days ago and clarified that at the time of doing it he did not know that he was infected.

The 2019-2020 NBA season is now suspended and Gobert's team is in quarantine, as are possibly the teams the Utah Jazz recently faced.
