According to the guidelines of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only those who show no symptoms such as fever will be quarantined for five days. So, if Jungkook's symptoms do not worsen, it will not be difficult to see him at the Grammy Awards.

However, it is unclear whether he will be able to stand on the performance stage. As the guidelines says that if there are no special symptoms, the quarantine will be lifted after 5 days, but the person in concern will have to wear a mask for 5 days after that.
As it is not easy to perform a performance while wearing a mask, attention is focused on whether or not Jungkook will be able to perform on stage.
