Today, the Japan Football Association issued an announcement that a security officer of the hotel where the national football team stayed tested positive for the new crown, which is the second case of the security personnel who tested positive for the new crown in the hotel after the national football team stayed.
Recently, the epidemic situation in Japan has continued to deteriorate. On January 25, local time, Japan reported that the number of new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in a single day exceeded 60,000 for the first time, setting a new high since the outbreak of the epidemic. In order to prevent the further spread of the epidemic, Japan announced on the same day that 18 new regions would implement "key measures such as spread prevention". The epidemic situation in Tokyo is also not optimistic, with 14,086 new confirmed cases of new crown on the 25th.
In view of the current epidemic situation in Japan, the national football team also took some special measures during the Tokyo period. In addition to staying on the special floor of the hotel, the elevator can only be used at a fixed time. Every day, the team can propose an elevator use plan to the hotel, and each use is operated by the hotel staff wearing a full set of protective equipment to avoid the team personnel directly touching the elevator buttons.
Although the hotel where the national football team stayed had a staff that tested positive for the new crown, the team's preparation and tomorrow's game will not be affected. According to the Japan Football Association, the national football team is not a close contact of these two positive cases.
After the match against Japan, the national football team will take a charter flight from Japan directly to Vietnam. The battle between The Chinese team and the Vietnamese team will be played on February 1.
