Sakura Miko felt sick for a while now, according to Cover’s tweet in regards to the VTuber’s hiatus. After she went to get a check-up, she found that she tested positive for COVID-19. On Sakura Miko’s personal Twitter account, she said that she went to the hospital because her throat has felt off for a long while. Though she does not have a fever, she has a sore throat and is coughing.

Many Hololive VTubers have ended their Golden Week vacation with a COVID-19 diagnosis. She is the fourth VTuber to go on a break for health reasons. Going off of the tweets, it seems like Sakura Miko has the lightest COVID-19 symptoms. Laplus Darkness, Murasaki Shion, and Minato Aqua are all also recovering, and all three of them have reported a fever as one of their symptoms.

Sakura Miko will take a week hiatus to recover from COVID-19. If she feels better at the end of it, she will resume her usual activities.
