Japan has relaxed its lockdown and amusement parks have gradually reopened. In order to protect the health of all adrenaline junkies, amusement park operators have jointly issued the epidemic prevention guidelines.
According to the guidelines, operators advised people to wear a face mask and maintain social distancing in the amusement park. Not only does the social distancing rules apply to customers, but it is also applicable to the 'ghosts' in the ghost house, where they have to maintain social distance with adventure seekers.

Meanwhile, mascots and superheroes are not allowed to high-five and shake hands with fans due to social distancing.
The guidelines advised people to avoid shouting on roller coasters or other rides, in order to lower the risk of saliva transmission between people as it is one of the virus transmission ways.
The operators too disclosed that the guidelines will not reduce the number of infections to zero, "but can reduce the risk of infection."
