Chungha’s agency has released a statement regarding the current situation with two staff members testing positive for novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

On March 1, MNH Entertainment shared the following statement:

Hello. This is MNH Entertainment. 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.

88rising, an American mass media company, announced via Twitter that Chungha, who had been part of the lineup for their Head in the Clouds Festival in Jakarta, will no longer be performing.

Because of unforseen circumstances, chungha will not be performing at head in the clouds Jakarta. 88rising family is with you and your team @CHUNGHA_MNHent — 88rising (@88rising) March 1, 2020
