Inside coronavirus clinic at Gold Coast University Hospital where Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson treated for coronavirus

Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson are being treated at the Gold Coast University Hosptial, home to a “fever clinic” health authorities say is world class.

It’s no Hollywood movie set and it’s certainly nothing flash for a star.

But this is the makeshift clinic where actor Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson are likely to have been tested coronavirus while in Australia.

Hanks announced the pair had been diagnosed in an Instagram post today, revealing they had been feeling tired and had some body aches.

The two-time Oscar winner has been filming Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic on the Gold Coast and had recently been in Sydney.

The couple are being treated at Gold Coast University Hospital, which has two dedicated “fever clinics” set up to deal with the influx of people being tested across the country.

Queensland health officials believe the pair contracted the disease overseas and carried it back to Australia. Queensland Health Minister Steven Miles said the Gold Coast infectious diseases unit is “one of the best in the world”.

“The one thing I can reassure Queenslanders is that if you are going to get sick, if you are going to get COVID-19 anywhere in the world, Queensland is where you would want to get it,” he said.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the couple would “be getting the best treatment in our hospitals just as we provide to everybody else”.

“I’m very confident with the physicians we have, they will be treating Tom and his wife. We wish them all the best for a speedy recovery,” she told reporters this afternoon.

“Our experts will now work very closely with him, with Baz and all of the cast and crew and then those who have been in close proximity will self-isolate.”

As with most clinics operating across Australia, patients are kept away from others in the hospital and asked to use hand sanitiser when they arrive and are given a face mask.

They get swabbed and are then told to self-isolate until they get the test results.

“A fever clinic is a place we can assess medically whether patients meet the risk criteria for coronavirus,” Dr Audra Gedmintas, clinical director of emergency and intensive care, told the Gold Coast Bulletin.

“It allows us to divert patients away from the emergency department so we can concentrate on our more unwell patients, down in the emergency department and address the needs of those who believe they have the virus in an efficient manner.

“We flex up and down on the number of staff required depending on the number of patients and they are being seen within 1-2 hours which is really good result considering the volume.”

The clinics have negative pressure rooms used to isolate patients during treatment.

There are three other coronavirus patients being treated at the Gold Coast University Hospital, including a 32-year-old woman who returned from the US, a 31 year-old-male and a 63-year-old beautician.

Hanks touched down on the Gold Coast on January 26 and was rumoured to be staying at Peppers Broadbeach — in the same building as a Chinese national who was one of Australia’s first coronavirus cases.

The couple’s son Chet took to Instagram to say they were “fine” and “not even that sick”.
