[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Singer Chungha, who was diagnosed with COVID-19, has been released from quarantine. However, she has decided to suspend official activities for the time being.

Chungha's agency, MNH Entertainment, announced through the official fan cafe on the 21st, "Chungha was released from COVID-19 quarantine on the 18th."

The agency stated, "According to health authorities' guidelines, confirmed cases must undergo a mandatory 10-day quarantine period, and asymptomatic cases are released from quarantine after 11 days. Chungha, who falls under the asymptomatic category, was notified of her quarantine release on the 18th, the 11th day since admission, with a medical opinion stating 'no transmissibility.'

The agency added, "Due to the worsening impact of COVID-19, Chungha will suspend official activities for the time being and prioritize health and safety by focusing on hygiene management." Chungha is currently staying at home.

Chungha was diagnosed with COVID-19 on the 7th and received treatment while staying at a residential treatment center. Although her first full-length album was scheduled for release in January next year, all activities were halted due to the diagnosis.

Earlier, the agency explained the circumstances of the diagnosis: "Chungha had been attending a sports center in Seoul recently for rehabilitation training due to shoulder muscle injuries. She also received rehabilitation training at the sports center on the 2nd. On the 5th, we first heard that a confirmed case had been reported at the center, so Chungha underwent testing proactively."
