Countermeasures to Deal with COVID-19
Due to the influence of COVID-19 (new coronavirus), people have been advised to avoid going to places where large groups gather. Therefore, concerts, plays, sporting competitions, and many other events have been cancelled or postponed. During this period, sporting events, including the spring sumo tournament, were held with no spectators. In some cases, online “no spectator live” streaming events have been held for profit using a “donation” function to earn money from views.
