"

About this, Minister Ikuta said at the press conference after the cabinet meeting, "I have never said that I should stop or stop the summer Koshien until I have given my impression."

On top of that, “Summer hot weather is a harsh environment for high school students. The host organization, Takano Ren = Japan High School Baseball Federation, start the game time early, use the night game effectively, or when the temperature is high during the daytime I would appreciate it if you could forget about it or think about scheduling a little more. "

“In recent years, there are so many hot summer days in summer, so when playing sports, it is important to take all possible measures for health management, such as preventing heatstroke. Denying the sports activities in summer I don't want to do this, but I would like each hosting organization to operate with careful consideration for safety management. "
