In Kanagawa Prefecture, the Tokyo Olympic torch relay on public roads has been canceled due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but a ceremony will be held from the 28th to the 3rd, in which the torch runner will light the torch.

The torch relay in Kanagawa Prefecture was originally scheduled for three days from the 28th, and 290 runners were scheduled to run in 15 cities and towns in the prefecture.



However, due to the influence of the new coronavirus, all relays on public roads were canceled, and instead a ceremony was held in which the torch runner lit the torch.



On the first day, the ceremony will be held at the park in Fujisawa City, which was scheduled to be the goal point of the torch relay.



To prevent the spread of infection, the general public is not allowed to enter, but runners who were planning to run in seven cities will participate, and on the stage there will be a "torch kiss" to transfer the torch from torch to the torch and ignition of the torch plate. It's a schedule.



The ceremony will be held in Sagamihara City on the 29th and in Yokohama City on the 30th, the final day.
