"I just got off the phone with them. They both are fine," Hanks and Wilson's son Chet Hanks said in an Instagram video. "They're not even that sick. They're not worried about it. They're not trippin' but they're going through the necessary health precautions obviously. But I don't think it's anything to be too worried about."
