Yoo Jae Suk Tests Negative For COVID-19 But Will Remain In Self-Quarantine; Jo Se Ho To Resume Activities

Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho have tested negative for COVID-19.

On July 23, both Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho underwent testing for COVID-19 after one of the staff members from tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block” tested positive for the virus. In keeping with instructions from health authorities, Yoo Jae Suk went into self-quarantine as a precautionary measure while waiting for his test results, but it was not immediately clear whether Jo Se Ho would need to self-isolate as well.
