The Taiwan Baseball League will allow fans to enter stadiums for the first time this season as part of a gradual easing of restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The China Professional Baseball League said up to 1,000 people would be permitted to enter ballparks Friday.

"One month has elapsed since the start of play on April 11. With the unity and cooperation of the government and the people, the epidemic in Taiwan has eased," the CPBL said on its official website. "Welcome back fans!"

The CPBL said it would continue to maintain high levels of epidemic prevention policies in order to "let baseball gradually return to Chinese life."
