Her agency, MNH Entertainment, released a statement on the situation:
Our artist Chungha returned home from a scheduled activity in Italy on February 24. One of the staff members who accompanied her showed signs of fever and tested positive for COVID-19.
We immediately made Chungha and all accompanying personnel go into self-isolation and had them tested. One more staff member tested positive for the virus, and we are taking the appropriate action for it.
All the other staff members tested negative, and Chungha also tested negative on March 1.
Based on the results of the test, they will go into self-isolation as requested by Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
For the sake of safety, all scheduled activities have been canceled for the time being, and we will continue to take the best possible measures and deal with [the virus] faithfully.
We thank everyone working hard to combat the virus, and we will do our best to protect our safety and health from COVID-19.
With South Korea as the most-infected country outside of China, a number of its events and activities have been postponed due to the spread of COVID-19. Other artists such as BTS and Twice have likewise canceled their concerts.
