Tom Hanks' eldest sister, Sandra Hanks Benoiton, has reportedly spoken up on her bother's health, saying he is not doing great.

The filmmaker also had some bad news to share.
The older Hanks expressed hope that Great Britain and the United States would keep their spirits high despite the virus. When asked about her family's state, the actor's sister shed some light on the prevailing atmosphere in the country.
"We're okay here... staying home is fine with us, and this community is wonderful. I'm lucky to be here; the spirit of the people is amazing! The US and the UK are failing miserably, however."
Tom Hanks recently shared an update with his fans via the microblogging site. In the tweet, the Grammy award-winning actor said doing house chores like laundry and doing dishes makes him sleepy.
In another update, the 63-year-old actor shared a photo of his "vegmite" toast meal via Instagram, and his family is having a good laugh out of it. His son, Colin Hanks, led the banter on tweeter. He joked that the star actor was having too much "vegmite" on his toasts.
Despite their infection, the Hollywood couple is still cheerful. Rita Wilson showed their cheerfulness when she performed her "Broken Man" despite being infected.
