After the sacrifice ended in the early morning of the 24th, the staff began to develop symptoms such as fever. Since the route of infection was unknown, in order to prevent Emperor Naruhito from being diagnosed, the "Shun Festival", which was originally scheduled to be sacrificed by the Emperor himself on the 1st of each month, will be held in December. 1st will be replaced by attendants.
