David Campbell has decided to self-isolate after interviewing Tom Hanks’ wife, Rita Wilson, on Today Extra on Monday.

Tom and Rita tested positive for coronovirus on Thursday while the Oscar-winning actor was filming a movie on the Gold Coast.

Shortly after the announcement, David said on 2GB’s Afternoons with Deborah Knight: ‘I interviewed her on Monday, Deb. She came into the Today Extra studios on Monday and she was delightful and really nice and she didn’t have any symptoms of anything.’

He added: ‘She was cautious. She actually made a joke coming into the studios, saying we shouldn’t shake hands, we should bump elbows. So we bumped elbows.’

David and his Today Extra co-host Belinda Russell, who was also on the panel when they interviewed Rita, are both taking precautionary measures.

In the meantime, he is taking his three children, Leo, Billy and Betty, out of school and is self-isolating with his family.

He added that he feels ‘perfectly fine’ and isn’t too concerned about the risk as he had only spent ‘seven or eight minutes’ with Rita.
