Actor Tom Hanks posted a short update to his Instagram account early Sunday morning days after he and wife Rita Wilson tested positive for coronavirus in Australia.
The post showed a plush kangaroo toy holding the Australian flag next to Hanks' breakfast of Vegemite on toast.
"Thanks to the Helpers. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other. Hanx," the actor wrote in the post.
Hanks and Wilson have been in isolation in Australia since testing positive for COVID-19, according to the two-time Oscar winner's Instagram account.
Sunday's post was the second update from Hanks since his initial post about testing positive.
Hanks, 63, first announced his diagnosis on Wednesday, saying that while in Australia, he and Wilson came down with symptoms resembling a cold, as well as body aches and slight fevers.

In his first Instagram update following that post, Hanks thanked those who had helped them while in isolation in Australia and asked people to take care of one another.
