Third, there must be sufficient security protection and appropriate measures. . There are many people gathered in the football field, and a strong and well-trained security team must be provided. In an emergency, appropriate response measures must be taken and the arbitrary nature of the handling must be resolutely avoided. Because the lessons learned from your tragedy are extremely profound, we must learn from it.
