Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball will delay the start of its regular season due to concerns over the spread of the coronavirus.
“We can’t play games in the current situation, where for every one person in a large crowd, two to three more will likely become infected,” commissioner Atsushi Saito said, per Jim Allen.
“If you have games you have to make a maximum effort. If you don’t have the ability to measure body temperatures, disinfect the stadium and equipment and so on, then you can’t be said to be doing your best.
