According to People, a representative for the couple confirmed they have officially left the hospital and continuing their recovery – under quarantine – in a rented home in Australia.
The Forrest Gump star announced last Wednesday that he and his wife had been diagnosed with the virus and have remained in self-isolation ever since.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Tom shared an ambiguous photo of a pair of gloves in a cytotoxic rubbish bin, along with a lengthy message about his and Rita’s diagnosis.
The couple revealed they tested positive while in the Gold Coast, where Tom was about to start filming a movie, but production has reportedly gone into lockdown.
Following the news of Tom and Rita’s diagnosis, their son, Chet, took to social media to update fans on their progress.
After confirming his parents’ diagnosis, Chet went on to say that they were in good spirits and were “not even that sick”.
He concluded by telling fans to not worry because his parents weren’t, saying: “They’re going through the necessary health precautions, obviously.”
According to 9Honey, Queensland officials also released a statement that suggested where the American couple likely contracted COVID-19.
While officials didn’t call out Tom and Rita specifically, the statement mentioned that all of the state’s new patients are non-contact cases, which suggests they were infected overseas.
The Hollywood couple were reportedly in Australia in January for the film’s pre-reproduction, but then returned to the States for the Academy Awards.
Tom and Rita returned to Australia recently and since testing positive have remained in self-isolation at the Gold Coast Hospital before moving to their rented house.
