YG Entertainment said Rose, Jennie and Jisoo of the four-member K-pop band were waiting for their polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results though they did not come in close contact with Lisa
The company said it has shared the information with health officials and took tougher preemptive measures than the health authorities' guidelines.
