ATEEZ’s San Has Recovered From COVID-19, KQ Entertainment Announces Resumed Schedules
After testing positive for asymptomatic COVID-19 earlier this month, ATEEZ‘s San has now made a full recovery. In a new statement, KQ Entertainment clarified the other ATEEZ members’ isolation proceedings and announced when the group will return to schedules.
ATEEZ underwent COVID-19 testing back in early July after one of their staff members tested positive for the virus. While seven of the members tested negative, ATEEZ’s San received a positive test result. Thankfully, San experienced no COVID-19 symptoms. Following San’s positive status, ATEEZ suspended all promotions in line with governmental guidelines.
Now, KQ Entertainment has announced that San has made a full recovery. After testing negative on July 19, he has been released from quarantine and left the treatment center he entered earlier that month.
As member San was diagnosed as asymptomatic COVID-19 case in a preemptively taken test on the 9th, he has stopped all schedules and entered the treatment center, and after being confirmed to be completely cured on the 19th, he has been released from quarantine and left the treatment center.

The company went on to state that despite San testing negative for the virus several days ago, fellow members Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, Wooyoung, and Jongho all had to remain in self-isolation until noon on July 23. Now, they have once again tested negative for COVID-19.
In addition, ATEEZ members Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, Wooyoung, and Jongho, who were classified as close contacts, were self-isolated until noon today (23rd) following the disease control authorities’ instructions, and they were all tested negative at the PCR(Genetic Amplification) test that they took before being released from self-isolation.
