Dummies replace fans at baseball in Taiwan

Ranks at Taoyuan International Baseball Stadium, home of the Rakuten Monkeys, remained empty on Saturday (April 11) due to the coronavirus, while cardboard cut-outs and mannequins sporting team merchandise filled some of the seats.

The match was later postponed as the Chinese Professional Baseball League's much delayed start was pushed further back by another 24 hours after rain swept across the island, forcing the postponement of the traditional season-opener on Saturday.
