Hollywood star Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have been released from the hospital in Australia after receiving treatment for COVID-19 infection.

The couple has been discharged from a Queensland hospital and are now in self-quarantine at their home there, a representative for Hanks told cnn.com on Monday.

The couple had been hospitalised in isolation after being diagnosed with novel coronavirus last week.

Hanks and Wilson have been in Australia for pre-production work on a film about singer Elvis Presley. Hanks is set to play Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, in the film directed by Baz Luhrmann. Production on the project is currently suspended.

The couple took to Instagram separately to share the news last Thursday.

Over the weekend, Hanks shared updates on their care and ongoing recovery. Wilson even made a playlist for others self-isolating or in quarantine.
