ORIX New Virus Cancels Encouragement of Players February 20 15:51

Following the spread of the new coronavirus, professional baseball player ORIX has decided to cancel the encouragement event for players scheduled to be held in Osaka City on the 10th of next month.

Each year, ORIX hosts a large number of fans at a hotel in Osaka before the season begins to encourage players.

Koshiro was planning to hold an encouraging party with about 1,500 participants on the 10th of next month, but decided to cancel the event due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.

The baseball team says, "We have decided to cancel due to the health of the fans and the physical condition of the players. We would appreciate your understanding."

As a measure to prevent the transmission of the new coronavirus, ORIX has refrained from fan services such as signing and shaking hands by players from this month, and will refrain from using balloons in open games and practice games this month. I'm looking for fans.
