Two of Chungha's staff members have been confirmed to have the Coronavirus.
Chungha's manager and staff flew overseas with her for a photoshoot with a fashion brand in Milan on the 19th through the 24th. After the trip, her manager and stylist were confirmed to have the coronavirus and all of Chungha's staff members were put on quarantine.
There are worries that her outside staff, magazine and brand officials who helped film the pictorial also caught the coronavirus so they're also under quarantine.
Her agency MNH Entertainment stated on their official fan cafe on the 1st, "Our artist Chungha returned to Korea on the 24th after completing a schedule in Italy. We immediately completed a quarantine and exam of all personnel accompanying her and found that one additional staff member was also confirmed to have the Coronavirus. All other staff members tested negative but will remain in self-quarantine as requested by the CDC. For safety reasons, we have canceled schedules for the time being and will take the best measures and faithfully respond to them."
This is the first case of the Coronavirus in the music industry.
