Nippon Professional Baseball and the J. League are happy they’re now able to let more fans attend their games, but that doesn’t mean the two leagues are letting their guards down in the fight against COVID-19.
During a meeting of their joint task force Monday, both leagues said they would remain vigilant in order to safely complete the remainder of their respective 2020 campaigns.
The government on Saturday relaxed its restrictions on attendance at large-scale events, including sporting events, permitting organizers to operate venues at up to half-capacity after previously setting a limit of 5,000 people.
