The Japan Sumo Association announced in the former Makuuchi that Minatofuji's Minato Fuji was infected with the new coronavirus.

According to the Japan Sumo Association, Minato's boss was ill on the 14th, so when he underwent a PCR test for the new coronavirus at the hospital, he was tested positive at midnight.



Minato's master is a master of the Minato room in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, and although he had not been in contact with the wrestlers in the room for several days, 10 wrestlers belonging to the room underwent a PCR test just in case. It means that it is.



Minato will decide whether to be hospitalized according to the instructions of the health center in the future.



Shibatayama, the director of public relations at the Japan Sumo Association, said, "It's a situation where it doesn't matter who gets involved. I don't know what kind of behavior Minato was doing, but if he moves, he may get infected somewhere."
