Still zero cases worldwide of Covid being transmitted outdoors or by touch. One has to admire Japan's dogged commitment to hand sanitizer and wearing masks outdoors!

Seems to be original at least =)

@Roy Sophveason tests/3x jab before arrival, quarantine if you return a positive result. Extra harsh measures if travelling from China/Hong Kong. Continual mask pressure, archaic number restrictions in shops and plastic screens etc etc

Rest of the world has far moved on, time Japan did too

Only 21 in Tokyo with severe symptoms! Hope this trend continues for at least another few weeks and that the lows between shrinking waves are also smaller each time.
