[Breaking] Quarantine Authorities Warn Sternly Over Unpleasant Incident Due to Non-Compliance with Social Distancing at Sajik Stadium

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] The quarantine authorities issued a stern warning on the 28th regarding the situation at Busan Sajik Baseball Stadium where social distancing was not properly observed.

On the 30th, Son Young-rae, head of the Strategic Planning Division at the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, stated in a COVID-19 situation briefing, "An unfortunate incident occurred as many people gathered at Lotte Sajik Stadium without properly maintaining social distancing."

In professional baseball, spectator admission has been allowed at 10% capacity of the stands since the 26th of this month. However, at Sajik Baseball Stadium, where the Lotte Giants' home game was held on the 28th, many spectators crowded the first base side, which is the cheering section, showing disregard for social distancing. Among approximately 1,000 spectators, the majority were crowded in the first base infield seats, and it is reported that the guidance to keep at least 1 meter apart was ignored.
