The 57-year-old who has been based in Australia's Gold Coast was with Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, who tested positive earlier this week where he was filming a new film about Col Tom Parker, the manager of Elvis Presley.
Luhrmann said: "Really must send a big thank you to the doctors and medical experts from Queensland Health who have given us tremendous support, and, most importantly, very clear instructions as to how to go about putting our company and the community’s health first.
‘Very proud to say that the entire production is following these instructions to a T. ‘Personally I’m in isolation for the next 10 days, but wanted to let you guys know that the family and I are healthy and well. We’ll keep you updated!"
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor Austin Butler plays Presley in the new film and Luhrmann said he chose the rising star because he embodies "the spirit of one of the world's most iconic musical figures" after discovering him on Broadway.
