Japanese watching a football stadium kicked out German media March 3 at 7:25

German media reported that a group of Japanese who had been watching a league match in Leipzig, Germany's soccer league on Sunday, had been kicked out of the stadium.

That said, after the match had begun, the Japanese group was asked by security personnel to leave the stadium as "possibly infected with the new coronavirus."

Leipzig said on Tuesday, "Security officers were urged to check strictly for spectators coming from areas at high risk of the new coronavirus, but incorrectly responded to Japanese spectators. I apologized.
