Dino will take a break from participating in the group's ongoing tour and other promotional activities. Dino is a member of SEVENTEEN. Dino was diagnosed with COVID-19 on August 17, local time, according to an announcement from PLEDIS Entertainment. The member had tested positive the day before in Los Angeles. After that, Dino reportedly entered self-quarantine and complained of a minor sore throat.
All of the other members of SEVENTEEN had negative test results. Dino will therefore be absent from the tour stops in Los Angeles and Houston on August 17 and 20 as well as the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" taping.
Check out the full announcement below.
