Rita Wilson reveals the 'extreme' side effects she felt while taking chloroquine to treat coronavirus.

, Wilson talked about her recovery process. Wilson said she was given chloroquine -- a drug used to treat malaria and certain inflammatory conditions -- to help with her fever, which she shared was close to 102 by day nine of her fighting the virus.

"I know people have been talking this drug, but I can only tell you that I don't know if the drug worked or it was just time for the fever to break," Wilson said."My fever did break, but the chloroquine had such extreme side effects." "I was completely nauseous and I had vertigo," she continued."I could not walk and my muscles felt very weak. I think people have to be very considerate about that drug. We don't know if it's helpful in this case."

Wilson said she experienced extreme chills, body aches and lost her taste and smell while battling the virus. As for how she and Hanks contracted COVID-19, she says she believes they both got it at the same time rather than infecting one another. "It was somebody they said that Tom and I were both exposed to at the same time," she shared."We don't know when that could have been or where, but all I can say is all of our close contacts -- our family, our work team -- no one has tested positive."
