Rita Wilson is back in action.

On Sunday, the 63-year-old wife of Tom Hanks performed the National Anthem ahead of NASCAR’s virtual iRacing Pro Invitational Series Race — her first since recovering from coronavirus — as 24-year-old son Truman documented the rendition from her home in Los Angeles.

Last month, Wilson and Hanks, also 63, announced they had tested positive for coronavirus while in Australia for pre-production on Baz Luhrmann’s forthcoming Elvis Presley film. They were in isolation at an Australian hospital before being released.

The couple returned home to Los Angeles in late March, with Hanks providing an update on Twitter at the time.

“We’re home now and, like the rest of America, we carry on with sheltering in place and social distancing,” he tweeted.

Wilson also reflected on trying times, including her coronavirus and past breast cancer diagnosis, thanking those for their unyielding support.

“So, today, March 29, I am celebrating the beauty of this life, the blessings God has given, and my continued good health, even now as a COVID 19 survivor,” she shared on Instagram.
