Eighteen people watched the event on November 2 wearing masks. People can apply for a place to watch the tuna auctions online or by phone. Visitors will be selected by lottery. To ensure social distancing, organizers have reduced the viewings from twice a day to once a day. They are limiting the number of participants to up to 27 each day.

The Toyosu market replaced the old Tsukiji market in 2018.
