Professional baseball umpire participates in first new Corona Infection 2 Army match August 9 21:08
A referee in his twenties who was participating in the two professional baseball games was infected with the new coronavirus.
According to the Japan Baseball Organization, the referee in his twenties had a slight fever, cough, and sore throat on the 3rd of this month, and the result of the PCR test was positive on the 8th.
The referee had been out of the match from the 2nd of this month and was on standby at home because the acquaintance was determined to be a close contact with another infected person on the 1st of this month.
The other two referees who were in charge of the same match as the infected referee were also waiting at home, but they had a PCR test and were negative. The public health center is promoting the identification of concentrated contacts.
Also, this is the first time a referee has been infected in professional baseball. According to NPB, this referee has no experience in the 1st army and can change the referee to hold the match of the 2nd army. Atsushi Ihara said, I don't think so."
