One of the options is to shorten the self-quarantine period by effectively conducting PCR tests before the period ends. We should discuss new rules that are easier for those self-isolating to follow.

No testing at all. Just let it burnout.

I was surprised to see PCR tests on sale next to the checkout at Aeon owned supermarkets (about 2900 yen if anyone is interested).

Those over the counter PCR tests are useless for official purposes, like travel.

@Luddite I didn't really have travel purposes in mind. But if there is someone who is ill and worried about having the virus it might be helpful information for them.

If they have symptoms they should get an official test.

@expat

While it is true that people are now being checked, I have heard nothing of being refused-do you have firsthand info on that?
