Yokohama Stadium Relaxation of restrictions on the number of spectators Verification of the effects of infection control, etc. October 30, 17:20

While the number of spectators at large-scale events continues to be limited, Kanagawa Prefecture and other prefectures will include spectators who exceed the limit in the professional baseball game held at Yokohama Stadium from the 30th, and use the latest technology to prevent infection. We are verifying the effect.

Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, at large-scale events such as professional baseball and J-League games, half of the audience is capped at venues with a capacity of more than 10,000.

Under these circumstances, this verification will be carried out by Kanagawa Prefecture, etc. with the approval of the national subcommittee discussing measures for the new corona, 80% on the 30th, 90% on the 31st, and full on November 1st. We will put the audience up to the maximum and verify the effects and issues of infection control.

On the 30th, a large number of people visited the stadium at the same time as the opening at 3:00 pm, disinfected fingers, measured body temperature, and then entered the stadium.

In the verification, a high-precision camera is used to check the wearing rate of the mask, the location information system of the app is used to record the movement of a person, and at a later date, a supercomputer is used to cheer the audience. It means to analyze in detail how it spreads.

In addition to verifying the mechanism for notifying infected people with a smartphone app, we will call for them to disperse and return after the match to confirm the effect.

Prefectures, etc. have decided to summarize the verification results and report them to the national government, which will be used in the future to create national guidelines for relaxing the number of people.

The content of the verification is

At Yokohama Stadium,

we have taken measures against infections such as ▽

temperature measurement at the time of admission and confirmation of wearing masks

▽ thorough alcohol disinfection

▽ prohibition of high five.

In this verification, 13 high-precision cameras will be installed in the spectators' seats, aisles, and outside the stadium, and the "face recognition" technology will be used to check the spectator's mask wearing rate. I will.

Then, many people investigate in detail where to remove the mask, the timing, etc., and consider what kind of call and measures are effective to increase the wearing rate.

In addition, by using the location information system of the smartphone app, we can grasp the flow of people during and before and after the game and use it as a measure to guide people so that they are not crowded. It means to project the image of the above on the screen and call for returning home in a distributed manner to check the effect.

In addition, the images of the spectators' seats taken are analyzed using a supercomputer to simulate how much the flight spreads during cheering and meals during the game, and compared with the images when the number of people is limited. Then, analyze how much the risk of infection is different.

In addition, we will verify a mechanism to notify people in the stadium with a smartphone app when an infected person occurs.

Yokohama Stadium will be the venue for baseball and softball at the Tokyo Olympics next year, and Governor Kuroiwa of Kanagawa Prefecture said, "If we can confirm that infection control can be thoroughly implemented even if the restrictions are relaxed, it will be a big step toward the success of the Olympics. I expect it to be. "

The audience

A man in his 50s who came from Tokyo said, "I thought it was necessary to verify what to do with the restrictions, so I think it's the right time. I will analyze how the droplets fly and the next season. I want you to connect to the Tokyo Olympics. "

In addition, a man in his 40s in Yokohama said, "I heard that up to 80% of the audience can be seen, and I've been thinking about seeing what it actually looks like. After taking proper measures against infection, I hope that more people can enter. I hope it will be. "

A woman in her 50s in Yokohama said, "I thought it was a little scary, but since it is also the venue for the Olympics, I came with a desire to cooperate. I immediately grasped the congestion situation inside the stadium and on the way back. If possible, I think we will be able to participate with peace of mind. "
