Kim Min Ah, a South Korean anchor and actress, is currently in self-isolation. The actress has reportedly been hospitalized and is being tested for COVID-19. If the anchor is positive for COVID-19, all her co-workers would be at risk as well. She was filming for LCK (League of Champions Korea) when the actress decided to leave due to body aches and fever. She was reportedly directed to the hospital.

Usually, the live shooting for the show is done with audiences but due to the high cases of coronavirus in South Korea, the production team has chosen to film without "spectators."

Meanwhile, Kim Min Ah informed her fans that she had already undergone the COVID-19 test and is just waiting for the diagnosis. She also apologized for worrying everyone.

JTBC, Min Ah's station, also released an official statement. They said "Kim Min Ah is in self-isolation at the moment. She has already been tested for coronavirus as she is showing symptoms of the disease, and because of this, her morning news program has been canceled until further notice. Let's all hope for a favorable outcome. Thank you."

South Korea has the second-highest cases of coronavirus outside of China. As of Monday morning, 763 cases have been confirmed with seven confirmed deaths.
