With the flu epidemic, stars are also struggling.
Singer Seo Eun-kwang canceled his appearance on the day of the show due to type A flu. CJ ENM, the producer of the musical "Gwanghwamun Sonata," announced in November that the casting was changed to Cha Ji-yeon, saying, "We were forced to change due to actor Seo Eun-kwang's health reasons (Type A flu)."
Singer Yoon Do-hyun, who appeared in the same performance, also canceled his appearance on the day of the performance due to flu symptoms. The production company said, "We inevitably changed the casting due to actor Yoon Do-hyun's health reasons (Type A flu)," and Son Joon-ho took the stage instead.
Singer Lee Seung-cheol also canceled the concert on the same day due to type A flu. Lee Seung-chul was scheduled to hold a solo concert "Oracle Rock 2" at the BEXCO Auditorium in Haeundae-gu, Busan, on the 28th of last month, but he canceled it once on the day of the performance due to the diagnosis of type A flu.
Patients with respiratory infections such as flu are spreading. The quarantine authorities issued a flu epidemic warning nationwide on the 20th of last month, and it is said to be the highest level in eight years since 2016. The flu pandemic has not yet peaked, so the number of patients is expected to continue to increase for the time being.
There are three respiratory diseases currently prevalent: flu (influenza virus), COVID-19, and RSB (respiratory syncytial virus). Of these, the flu is the mainstream. There are three types of flu: A, B, and C, and type A is currently prevalent.
Type A is highly contagious, frequently causes morphological variations, and has the property of causing complications such as pneumonia, so it should be the most careful. Type B can also become popular after next month, so you shouldn't feel safe just because you have the flu once.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasizes that "observing the rules for preventing respiratory infections is paramount," and emphasizes, "Please follow the rules for preventing respiratory infections such as hand washing, cough etiquette, and ventilation."
