Restrictions on holding events such as professional baseball Continued adjustment until the end of February next year Government November 11, 4:38

In light of the increase in the number of people infected with the new coronavirus, the government has begun to adjust the holding limit for events with tens of thousands of people, such as professional baseball, to half the capacity until the end of February next year.

The government has set a limit of half of the restrictions on holding events in response to the spread of the new coronavirus at venues with a capacity of more than 10,000, such as professional baseball and the J League.

The government says it will be until the end of this month, considering that the number of infected people has increased and an expert subcommittee has issued an urgent proposal that "if appropriate measures are not taken, there is a high possibility that the infection will spread rapidly." For the time being, we have begun to adjust the restrictions on holding large-scale events so that they will continue until the end of February next year.

On the other hand, if it is scientifically confirmed that the risk of infection is low, the policy is to relax the restrictions individually. For example, in the case of movie theaters, if accompanied by light meals such as popcorn, the upper limit is half the capacity, but it is relaxed until it is full. It is a policy to do.

In addition, for the first visit, which is expected to attract a large number of people, the government is considering requesting thorough infection prevention measures such as encouraging worshipers to wear masks, and the government held an expert subcommittee on the 12th. I will discuss it.
