Japan's aid organization recalls all 1,900 volunteers due to virus

A tard too late.

Most are in developing countries in Africa, south America and Asia.

And most countries are locked down or have to transit through locked down countries.

Jica volunteers are usually in small villages and communities, they will be able to quarantine better where they are.

don't call them volunteers they get paid - I met many in SE Asia Cambodia 95-2000 they get paid, airfare, a place to live and allowance that AINT volunteering.

Go and live with the people to help them, until its time to flee....

I wonder what the locals think?

I agree with all 3 comments above.

They are safer where they are and bringing them back is an unnecessary risk for Japan.

But I would see it is completely in line with the complete chaotic reaction by government here so far.

I say the people in line to watch the Olympic flame yesterday, pure madness.
