The comedian is asymptomatic, Sims added.
“Chappelle has safely conducted socially distanced shows in Ohio since June 2020 and he moved those shows to Austin during the winter,” the statement detailed.
“Chappelle implemented Covid-19 protocols which included rapid testing for the audience and daily testing for himself and his team. His diligent testing enabled him to immediately respond by quarantining, thus mitigating the spread of the virus.”
Two of Chappelle’s shows were due to feature fellow comedian Joe Rogan, who apologised to fans on social media, confirming the cancelled performances would be rescheduled.
Chappelle and Rogen were pictured earlier this week, along with business magnate and SpaceX founder Elon Musk and his singer parter, Grimes. No one in the photograph was wearing a face mask.
