Australian film director Baz Luhrmann has gone into self-isolation as a precaution due to fears over coronavirus.
Luhrmann's move comes after filming on the set of his upcoming Elvis Presley biopic was halted last week after lead actor Tom Hanks and his wife, singer and actress, Rita Wilson, tested positive to the virus.
The director of Moulin Rouge and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, posted a statement on social media to update his followers, confirming he would spend the next 10 days in isolation.
"Really must send a big thank you to the doctors and medical experts from Queensland Health, who have given us tremendous support and most importantly, very clear instructions as to how to go about putting our company and the community's health first," the statement reads.
