LDP Chairman Suzuki "Delay is one big meaning"
"The reason for the postponement of the party is to take into account the effects of the new coronavirus.
He also commented on the need to establish criteria for judging whether to hold a large-scale event. "Is it necessary to judge on a case-by-case basis? I think the postponement of the tournament has one big meaning. "
