Former GHC National Champion Kenoh missed Pro Wrestling NOAH’s show on 4/18 due to a fever. It was later determined that Kenoh tested positive for COVID-19 via a PCR test that he took on the 17th. Manabu Soya, Haou and Tadasuke are suspected to have been in close contact with Kenoh.
There will be another round of tests conducted today but all four men are off NOAH’s 4/24 and 4/29 shows. NOAH issued the following statement at the conclusion of their announcement concerning Kenoh:
Noah will continue the measures against infectious diseases that it has been working on, and will ensure the safety of athletes, staff, and related parties by conducting regular PCR tests by private laboratories, retesting at medical institutions, and taking measures in accordance with infection control guidance. At the same time, we will strive to create an environment where visitors can watch the game with greater peace of mind than ever before.
これにより本日（18日）、改めて医療機関で再検査を行い、20日に判明する結果次第で拳王選手の陽性ならびに3選手の濃厚接触者が正式に認定される可能性があります。
正式な認定前ですが、4選手は、4月24日横浜ラジアント、4月29日名古屋国際会議場大会を【欠場】とさせていただきます。
