Masked fans and cheerleaders brought some much needed noise and atmosphere to baseball stadiums in South Korea on Sunday as authorities started allowing spectators to return to professional sports amid the coronavirus pandemic.
South Korea’s 2020 baseball season started in early May without fans in the stands. Seats at baseball venues were then filled with banners, dolls and pictures of fans.
On Sunday, the Korean Baseball Organisation allowed a limited number of fans, or 10 per cent of the stadium capacity, to watch games live. They entered stadiums after their temperatures were checked. During the games, they were required to wear masks and sit at least a seat apart while being banned from having food or beverages.

Who has been sanctioned?
Daniella Weiss and Nachala
Described as 'the grandmother of the settler movement', she has encouraged the expansion of settlements for decades. The 79 year old leads radical settler movement Nachala, whose aim is for Israel to annex Gaza and the occupied West Bank, where it helps settlers built outposts.
Harel Libi & Libi Construction and Infrastructure
Libi has been involved in threatening and perpetuating acts of aggression and violence against Palestinians. His firm has provided logistical and financial support for the establishment of illegal outposts.
Zohar Sabah
Runs a settler outpost named Zohar’s Farm and has previously faced charges of violence against Palestinians. He was indicted by Israel’s State Attorney’s Office in September for allegedly participating in a violent attack against Palestinians and activists in the West Bank village of Muarrajat.
Coco’s Farm and Neria’s Farm
These are illegal outposts in the West Bank, which are at the vanguard of the settler movement. According to the UK, they are associated with people who have been involved in enabling, inciting, promoting or providing support for activities that amount to “serious abuse”.
