The Japan Sumo Association has announced that it will prepare to hold an emergency spectator limit of 5,000 from the 10th of this month in response to the declaration of emergency in each of the three prefectures.
The Japan Sumo Association stopped selling admission tickets in the evening of the 6th due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection at the first place to reach the first day at the Kokugikan in Tokyo and Ryogoku on the 10th of this month, while including the audience. We are preparing for the event.
The government has issued an "emergency declaration" for 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures, and is taking measures in the target area. Regarding the requirements for holding an event, the upper limit of the number of people is half the capacity or the smaller number of 5000 people. It is said.
Regarding this, Mr. Shibatayama, the director of the Sumo Association's public relations department, said, "We are going to hold the first place, but we will try to prevent infection, including the part of safety and security for customers who come to visit us. It's okay. We will protect 5,000 people. "
