after officials misunderstood what being 'discharged' from hospital means

Donald Trump was saved from mistakenly tweeting that Tom Hanks had died from the novel coronavirus after his diplomatic staff misunderstand reports about the actor being "discharged" from an Australian hospital, according to the newspaper The Courier-Mail.

Hanks last week announced that both he and his wife, Rita Wilson, had contracted COVID-19 while he was in Australia filming Baz Luhrmann's coming movie about Elvis Presley.

There was apparently confusion in the White House, however, when officials informed Trump that the actor had been "discharged" from the hospital.

According to The Courier-Mail, officials feared Trump was preparing to tweet about Hanks' health before Australia-based US Embassy officials contacted the Australian health authorities and confirmed that the actor was in fact still alive.
