PREGNANT singer Katy Perry was taking no chances on Thursday.
The 35-year-old was spotted covering her face with a pillow as she made her way through Sydney airport, amid the coronavirus pandemic which saw her locked-down in her hotel for 24 hours.
The Kissed A Girl hit-maker appeared cautious as she was seen fleeing Australia, where Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson both contracted the virus.
Katy stayed in the same hotel as the actor also stayed, the Park Hyatt in Sydney, earlier this week.
She was dressed casually for her flight in a grey tracksuit and Adidas sneakers, and concealed her eyes behind sunglasses.
She cancelled a strong of interviews on Wednesday, after jetting to the country for bush-fire relief fund-raiser.
The Fireworks star is understood to be returning home to the United States to reunite with fiance Orlando Bloom.
The couple are expecting their first child together.
Bloom was also affected by coronavirus measures on Thursday as she announced that production on season two of his Amazon Prime series Carnival Row had been cancelled.
The British actor posted a video to Instagram from the set in Prague, saying: “It’s farewell from us as we go home to be quarantined.”
He explained that production had shut down to allow cast and crew to return to the U.S. before President Trump’s travel ban from Europe comes into effect from midnight on Friday.
“We’re coming home to the States, at least I’m coming home to the States because we want to get in before the quarantine,” he said.
“Big love everybody, stay safe out there. Self quarantine. It seems really crazy actually this whole corona thing but do the right thing by you and your family and stay safe.”
Orlando ended the video optimistically, by declaring: “A few weeks, we’ll beat this bad boy.”
Katy had revealed earlier this week that her own parents have been hesitant to make any physical contact with her during her pregnancy amid growing fears over coronavirus.
Health authorities have advised the public not to shake hands, hug or kiss in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
The Wide Awake star told radio show Hughesy & Ed that her mother and father were taking these recommendations very seriously.
She said: “My parents fist-bumped me the other day. I was like, ‘What? Okay. I don’t know… cool.’
“I came out of them and everything, but I was like, “Sure, yeah.” That’s what watching the news forever will do, I guess!”
