Hollywood veteran Tom Hanks has urged his fans to not let their guard down and keep on wearing masks to safeguard themselves from the coronavirus pandemic. His comments come at a time when the US is seeing a resurgence in COVID-19 cases. So far, 129,000 people have died from the disease in the country. Hanks, who along with his wife, singer-songwriter Rita Wilson recovered from the highly-infectious disease in March, expressed his concern towards people who aren't paying attention to social distancing guidelines.

"There's really only three things we can do in order to get to tomorrow: Wear a mask, social distance, wash our hands... Those things are so simple, so easy, if anybody cannot find it in themselves to practice those three very basic things, I just think shame on you," the 63-year-old actor said. "Don't be a p****, get on with it, do your part. It's very basic. If you're driving a car, you don't go too fast, you use your turn signal and you avoid hitting pedestrians. My Lord, it's common sense," he added.
