Nasagot ang mga katanungan dahil ngayong Lunes ng umaga, August 7, mismong si Lea ang nagsabing nagpositibo siya sa COVID-19 kaya nagpapahinga muna siya.
“Hi everyone! So perhaps few of you that have been coming to Here Lies Love this week noticed that I haven’t been in the theater since Wednesday.
"Well, I tested positive for COVID, and thus made the decision to isolate and stay away from work. Thankfully, my overall symptoms were mild, quite a different experience from my first bout with the virus," paliwanag ni Lea.

Umaasa si Lea na makababalik siya sa Here Lies Love sa Martes, August 8. Itatanghal ang musical sa Broadway Theatre hanggang August 19, 2023.
“Although I did wish to return by weekend, COVID had other ideas, so out of abundance of caution for audiences, co-workers and myself, I opted to take all the time to rest and heal.
“I intend to come back to The Broadway Theatre this Tuesday. However, since I’m still on the mend, I will opt out of stage door autograph signing until further notice.
“As wonderful as it is to connect to you all after the performance, I need to take care of myself. Thank you so much for supporting our show! Can’t wait to get back on the dance floor!” karagdagang pahayag ni Lea.
Dapat maunawaan ng mga tagahanga ni Lea na nagnanais magkaroon ng photo-op na kasama siya para hindi na maulit ang kontrobersiyang nangyari sa kanyang dressing room noong nakaraang buwan.
