As the number of spectators for large-scale events continues to be limited due to the influence of the new coronavirus, professional baseball Seibu announced that those who bought tickets will be given a free antibody test in advance to check their infection history. ..
This is the first initiative in professional baseball.
Seibu announced that it will take new measures against infection in the Softbank game at its home base, MetLife Dome, on the 14th of next month in collaboration with medical IT venture company "Arum".
According to this, the person who purchased the ticket will be notified by e-mail, and if you agree with the purpose, you can download the dedicated application.
In addition to recording your health condition 10 days before the match with this app, you will be sent an antibody test kit to check your infection history, and you will be able to take the test for free.
Depending on daily changes in physical condition and antibody test results, we recommend that you take a PCR test, and if it is positive, you will not be able to enter.
Through this first professional baseball initiative, Seibu and others will analyze data such as the percentage of people who complain of poor physical condition and those who are positive in antibody tests, and will be appropriate for matches at MetLife Dome and other events. I want to use it as a countermeasure against infectious diseases.
The Giants also announced that they will make similar efforts for the match against Hiroshima at Tokyo Dome on the 25th of next month.
