May 18 (NHK) - An amusement park in central Japan has partially reopened after the government lifted emergency declarations for the coronavirus in dozens of prefectures.
Nagashima Spaland in Mie Prefecture reopened outdoor attractions such as roller coasters on Sunday. The park had been closed since April 9 due to the outbreak.
A thermograph has been installed at the entrance to take the temperatures of visitors. A signboard at the park asks people from other prefectures to refrain from visiting.
The measure is in line with requests by the central and prefectural governments to restrict movements across borders.
Visitors are seated on rides so as to maintain social distancing. The staff sanitizes ride seats after every use.
Indoor attractions at the park remain closed.
There were very few visitors on Sunday morning.
One local woman in her 20s said she enjoyed a ride. She added that she appreciates the precautions the park is taking.
