China News Service, April 26th. The Japanese Sumo Association announced on the 25th local time that one person in charge of the sumo dojo, as well as five athletes and coaches in the dojo were diagnosed with the new crown virus.
The Japanese Sumo Association revealed on the official website that the 53-year-old Takadagawa, a relative in Tokyo ’s Takadagawabeya, developed fever earlier this week and was found to be infected with the new coronavirus on April 23, and he is currently being treated in the hospital.
It is understood that "Department House" is a place for training sumo wrestlers. The highest leader is called "pro-party". He is responsible for the Sumo Association and teaches disciples to learn Sumo skills. Although the professional player Bai Yingshan of Takada Kawabeya had no obvious symptoms, he was tested positive on April 24 because of close contact with Takada River. The rank of Baiying Mountain is twelve, which belongs to the sixth level. The Japanese Sumo Association did not disclose the names of the other four infected persons, allegedly low-level players.
This is the first time a sumo wrestler has been diagnosed since the first sumo wrestler infection in Japan earlier this month. The Sumo Summer Tournament, which was originally postponed to May 24, will be consulted by experts to decide whether it will be held as scheduled. (Finish)
