Taiwanese baseball to expand number of fans allowed in ballpark again
Starting tomorrow, May 15, the CPBL will allow clubs to host 2,000 fans in their ballparks. Also, concession stands will be opened.
According to a tweet by the Taiwanese professional baseball league, the aforementioned measures are taken to make it possible for families to watch a ballgame again.
入場観客数を増やす提案が承認され、金曜日（5月15日）から、ファンの入場が最大2,000人まで可能となります！
さらに球場ではお弁当などの飲食物が販売され、家族連れの方々は隣同士で座ることができます。
ファンの皆様、球場でお待ちしております！#CPBL#球場で会おう pic.twitter.com/lIVzHhzMQS

This move comes only a week after the previous expansion of the number of fans that were allowed to visit a game. It all started with games behind closed doors even though 150 fans, all season ticket holders, were allowed to attend games. But last week, on May 8, the CPBL pulled up the number to 1,000 fans per game.
This all is possible because Taiwan had a strict policy on containing the coronavirus. As to date, no new cases of contaminated people have been reported and 2,225 persons are released from isolation in the last six days.
