Other guan 8 members also did tests, and the results were negative, but 2 brokers were also infected and showed a positive reaction. It is the New Year's holiday, they have not entered the relevant venues of the Janis firm, and they have not contacted other artists, so the activities and business of the other artists of the J family are carried out as usual according to the usual epidemic prevention standards.
In fact, this is the second member of Seki 8 to be confirmed, and on September 23, 2020, Okura Tadaoyoshi was diagnosed, and he resumed and returned to work after 19 days of recuperation.
In addition to Yokoyama Hiroshi, who was made public today, there have been a number of idols diagnosed in the Recent Genius Office: Keiichiro Koyama, Nario Kato, Tsubaki Taimi, Takuya Shadowyama, Okawa Suzuki, Kaito Nakamura, Ryota Miyate, Shunsuke Kazema, etc., of which Snow Man also missed the performance of "Red and White Song Club" due to the need for isolation of all employees.
Janis artist really fought, Shunsuke Kazama was absent from the live broadcast of the show "VS Soul" because of the infection with the new crown, and the program team did not "let him go", choosing the way of telephone connection to let him participate.
Also physically ill is Masaki Aoba, the host of "VS Soul".
Janis Office issued an announcement that Masaki Aoba had a slight fever and fatigue, and an emergency PCR test was carried out, but fortunately the results were negative and there was no infection with the new crown virus.
However, looking at the news today, there are cases in China that were detected after 11 tests.
