Zhang Hao has been reported to be experiencing only a minor symptom of a sore throat, and as a precautionary measure, he is undergoing a five-day isolation period to minimize the risk of infection transmission. In a positive development, all other members of ZEROBASEONE have undergone testing, and their results have come back negative, indicating they are currently free from infection.
Regrettably, due to Zhang Hao’s health condition, he will be unable to participate in the face-to-face signing event originally slated for August 25, 26, and 27. Additionally, the video call event initially planned for the 26th of August has been postponed to a later date. The group and organizers are also prioritizing the safety and well-being of all involved. In line with this, further updates will be provided as Zhang Hao’s condition evolves.
