Prefectural Gifu Commercial, which was determined to be infected with the new coronavirus in national high school baseball in the summer, will replace 10 registered players and face the first round on the 9th as scheduled.
Prefectural Gifu Commercial, which will be participating in the 30th time, which is the largest number of representative schools in this tournament, was unable to attend the opening ceremony on the 6th because the infection of the new coronavirus spread within the team before the tournament and was judged to be an outbreak. I was worried whether I could participate in the first round set on the 9th of the day.
At this tournament, five schools, including the Gifu Prefectural Commercial, were judged to be infected, and the Takanoren = Japan High School Baseball Federation and others revised their infection control guidelines so that players would not lose the opportunity to play at Koshien Stadium. Even if an outbreak occurs, we have set a standard that if all registered players can confirm a negative PCR test within 72 hours before the game, they can replace the players and participate.
In response to this, Prefectural Gifu Commercial replaced 10 of the 18 members originally registered.
Although the ace and key players in offense and defense will be left out, Takanoren and others have confirmed that all of them are negative, so in the fourth match on the 9th, they will face the first round against Sha High School in Hyogo as planned. became.
