“To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the coronavirus, and were found to be positive,” he added.

After the news came out, all the cast and crew members at Tom Hank’s film set Elvis – where he plays the manager of the legendary singer Elvis Presley – have been told to self-quarantine and tested for the virus. In addition, the film’s production has been halted until the situation is clear.
