How do you spend Halloween?

Halloween is all about costumes. Halloween is also popular in Japan, and many people gather for Halloween in Shibuya. Although Japan's Halloween customs have a short history, many people still hold costume contests.
Halloween in Kawasaki is also popular and famous. Thousands of children parade in Kawasaki.
In Shibuya Ward, the mayor of the ward once again asked people not to come on Halloween this year. This is said to be because Halloween in Shibuya worsens the security of the surrounding area and makes infection control difficult.

Halloween is all about costumes. Halloween is also popular in Japan, and many people gather for Halloween in Shibuya. Although Japan's Halloween customs have a short history, many people still hold costume contests.
Halloween in Kawasaki is also popular and famous. Thousands of children parade in Kawasaki.
In Shibuya Ward, the mayor of the ward once again asked people not to come on Halloween this year. This is said to be because Halloween in Shibuya worsens the security of the surrounding area and makes infection control more difficult.

1 - the phrase "makes infection control difficult" is grammatically correct, but the correction adds "more" to convey that the situation becomes even harder or more challenging for infection control. This change enhances the clarity of the sentence.
If people do not go to Shibuya for Halloween this year then that would mean that there will be fewer chances of worsening the security and will manage the spread of infection, right?

I see. Crowds tend to form at Halloween parties, so Shibuya Ward is extremely cautious. In the United States, Halloween has been a tradition for over 150 years, but in Japan it is said to have only been around for about 30 years, so the police are not very familiar with it.
It is said that it is surprising to see how many young people gather in Shibuya for Halloween, even those from Western countries, where is the home of Halloween.

1 - An introductory word (Unfortunately), phrase (Before the party), or clause (If you can join us) sets the stage for the sentence. Introductory clauses and long phrases must always be followed by a comma, while single words and short phrases may or may not. Use a comma when the phrase is a verbal phrase (Running away), a non-essential appositive, or an absolute phrase (The audience waiting). Also use a comma when a pause is necessary or the lack of a comma will cause confusion.

2 - Conjunctions are words like and, but, because, and when. They connect other words and phrases and show relationships between them. Choosing the right conjunction depends on context.

3 - The subject of your sentence (the person or thing that is doing something) must agree with the verb (the thing that the subject is doing). A singular subject like student requires a singular verb like studies: the student studies. A plural subject (students) requires a plural verb (study): the students study.
Putting in costumes and showing them off can be fun, right? Maybe that's one reason why many young people in Japan like participating in the Halloween parties in Shibuya. Is there a limit on how many people can attend the party this year?

Although there are no specific regulations, the Mayor of Shibuya City is asking people to avoid coming to Shibuya in costume for Halloween if possible.

1 - "The Mayor of Shibuya City is requesting that people refrain from wearing costumes if possible when visiting Shibuya for Halloween." is an alternative.
