On April 3, Yue Hwa Entertainment released an updated statement regarding the company's staff members who recently underwent COVID19 testing.
Previously, Yue Hua Entertainment confirmed that one company employee tested positive for COVID19 after returning to Korea from a trip to the United States from March 3-15. Afterward, all Yue Hua Entertainment employees suspected of having had contact with the particular employee underwent testing, including all 6 members of EVERGLOW. The agency has confirmed that all of the EVERGLOW members have tested negative.
Now, in their updated statement, Yue Hua Entertainment relayed, "As of April 3, one additional staff member of our company has tested positive for COVID19. This staff member had the closest contact with the 1st COVID19-positive staff member from earlier, as they had a meal together back on March 27. This staff member is now receiving treatment at the hospital, and we will be monitoring their condition."
It's been reported that Yue Hua Entertainment will continue to track suspected contact routes of this second COVID19-positive staff member in order to ensure the safety of all company employees and personnel.
Did this employee go into isolation for 2 weeks after travelling as doctors are advising everyone to do? It doesn't sound like it if they shared a meal with another employee on March 27th. This is why people need to follow the rules!
