Singapore — Mediacorp actors Marcus Chin and Mark Lee had to begin the Chinese New Year celebrations in isolation after testing positive for Covid-19.
The Best Bet actor, Chin, tested positive for Covid-19 on Jan 29, showing symptoms of mild fever, sore throat and cough.
He immediately isolated himself, hoping he would recover before a performance on Feb 3 on the third day of CNY.
Chinese newspaper Shin Min Daily News reported that Chin had dabao (take away food) for his reunion dinner.
Chin added he was fortunate he didn’t experience severe symptoms nor lose his sense of smell.

Lee said that he missed their family reunion meal, joking that he ate his meal of plain porridge and eggs with preserved radish by himself while “facing the mirror”.
He recovered a few days later and tested negative for Covid-19 on Feb 5. Lee noted that his isolation period was not difficult, similar to when he was quarantined after flying to Taiwan.
