Today, in the 9th round of the Meiji Yasuda J1 League held on Saturday, August 8, Sagan Tosu, who we played against, announced that multiple individuals have been diagnosed as "positive" or "highly likely to be positive" for COVID-19.
As of now, there are no close contacts with confirmed positive cases within Kashima Antlers, and a PCR test will be conducted by the J.League tomorrow, Thursday the 13th.
Additionally, disinfection work by cleaning companies has been carried out at the Kashima Soccer Stadium, which serves as our home game venue, by today.
As a club, we will continue to thoroughly implement infection prevention measures against COVID-19 within the club and strive for safe and secure game operations even in official matches.
