The spread of omicron mutations has led to the number of confirmed daily cases of new coronavirus Infection (Corona 19) exceeding 200,000. Due to the nature of broadcasting that does not wear a mask, the risk of Infection can not help but increase. Celebrities have been vaccinating, as well as checking their health with steady PCR tests and self-kits, as it affects dozens of performers and staff members who have contacted Infection. Although Corona was confirmed, there are stars who have prevented further Infection and spread with wise coping.
Park Na-rae agency JDB Entertainment said on March 2, "Park Na-rae conducted a pre-emptive Corona 19 PCR test on the morning of the 1st, and finally received a positive test on the night of the 1st. Park Na-rae is self-isolated according to the guidelines of the anti-virus authorities. "We have completed the vaccination until the third vaccine, and there are no special symptoms. The program, which is scheduled for recording this week, has canceled the schedule and continues to pay attention to self-kit inspections. "
In the TVN entertainment program "Amazing Saturday" broadcasted on February 26, Boom said, "Our Narae went to PCR test for safety and health. It will be put in as soon as the result comes out, "Park Na-rae said. Shin Dong-yeop added, "I am very careful and caring about the voice for the fourth day, but my colleague has been caught, so I do not know if I check the test results." Despite receiving a voice from the PCR test after the confirmation contact, he carefully decided to participate in the recording and blocked the possibility of transmission of the performers and staff on "Amazing Saturday".
Park Myeong-su, who tested positive for self-diagnosis kits, also quickly responded to prevent any damage. On March 2, Park Myeong-su said, "Park Myeong-su was positive for Corona 19 autokit tests. I am in a bad condition, so I canceled the schedule and I am waiting for my home after PCR inspection. " Park Myeong-su did not attend the live broadcast of KBS Cool FM 'Park Myeong-su' radio show on the morning of the day, and dancer Gabi took on a special DJ.
Group Apink Jung Eun-ji also checked his body condition steadily and meticulously to quickly recognize Corona 19 Infection. Apink agency IST Entertainment said Jung Eun-ji and Oh Ha-young felt abnormal physical condition from early morning on February 27, and they were tested with a self-diagnosis kit, and after confirming the positive test, they were confirmed by PCR test.
After the confirmation news was announced, Jung Eun-ji said on SNS, "I did 16 kits alone at home, by brand? I bought something from the company and I bought it! Only four out of 16 were positive, so if you do not feel well, you have to do it with your nose and neck! "
Yoo Jae-Suk, who was vaccinated until the second vaccine, was not subject to self-pricing after being diagnosed with Corona 19 immediately after close contact with Corona 19 confirmed in December last year. However, I often checked my body condition with a self-diagnosis kit test, and when I had a suspicious symptom just before SBS 'Running Man' recording, I received a PCR test without contact with the performers and staff. Although it was confirmed by Corona 19, it is a best practice that minimizes contact with others.
Yoo Jae-Suk also lowered the possibility of additional Infection by 'Running Man' members. In February, when Ji Seok-jin and Haha were confirmed to be Corona 19, they carefully checked the members' situation and adjusted the recording schedule to prevent further spread.
