Listen to Story India Today Fact Check This is a hoax. It took his fans by surprise when a few days back Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks confessed that he and his wife Rita Wilson had COVID-19. The couple went into self- isolation thereafter. However, netizens went into utter shock when a website called "the-daily-star.com" ran a piece of news with the headline, "BREAKING: CORONAVIRUS CLAIMS LIFE OF TOM HANKS".
