She informed everyone that she was in contact with a person who was tested positive for the virus. The same day she got an antigen test done and the reports came out positive as well.

But worry not; she also mentioned that it might just be a mild case because she hasn’t experienced any of the symptoms like fever, weakness, and cough yet.

Nonetheless, the singer is taking full rest and is in complete isolation while taking all the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the virus.

Ozaki’s managing agency will also be stricter about their regulations and policies regarding COVID-19 rules in the workplace. No one wants more of the virus and hence preventing the spread is their top priority.

If it is not sad enough already, today, May 15th, also happens to be Yuka Ozaki’s birthday 🙁

Spending your birthday in a lockdown without your friends is sad but spending it all alone while being positive for Covid is just another level of sadness altogether.
