In a comment on the JUJUTSU KAISEN Twitter account, Akutami confirmed that they're recovering and the series will return the week after.
Weekly Shonen Jump's Tweet:
【お知らせ】
週刊少年ジャンプ10号(2月8日売)に掲載予定でした『呪術廻戦』ですが、作者急病による体調不良のため、休載させていただきます。

Comment from Gege Akutani:
— 呪術廻戦【公式】 (@jujutsu_PR) February 5, 2021
In the comment above, Akutani apologized to fans and explained that the illness was an "ordinary" illness, referring to the fact it wasn't COVID-19, and that they are now recovering. The manga creator also mentioned that they had tried to get a draft ahead last year so that the series wouldn't have to miss a week if they got sick, but they didn't have the time to finish it off.
The TV anime adaptation of JUJUTSU KAISEN is currently streaming right here on Crunchyroll.
