Cheerleaders danced beneath rows of empty seats and umpires wore protective masks as a new baseball season began in South Korea. Players and coaches will go through fever screenings before entering stadiums, while umpires and first- and third-base coaches must wear masks during games. A full season of baseball seemed doubtful in early March when South Korea was reporting around 500 new virus infections a day, forcing the KBO to postpone its March 28 season openers. But South Korea reported just three new cases on Tuesday, its lowest daily jump since infections surged in late February. Officials have started relaxing social distancing guidelines and are preparing to reopen schools, starting with high-school seniors on May 13.
