Update On The Corona Virus Situation In Japan

In the first week of April, there were many things that occurred in Japan. Of course, the number of infections is still increasing all over Japan. Even though the news reports every day about the dangers of the Coronavirus, it doesn't seem to have much effect, especially with young people. They are still doing activities together, which is a big infection risk.

Now the government has limited the number of visitors who can enter Japan, more than 26 countries and regions such as the United States, China, South Korea, Iran, Italy, Thailand, and other places. They've also suspended visa entry to Japan for Asian, Middle Eastern and African countries, temporarily.

Until now there weren't enough masks for everyone in Japan, but the Japanese prime minister announced that they will send a mask to everyone by mail, 2 per person. This was a quick action of this government.

Because of the Coronavirus problem, the Japan Post announced they are suspending delivery of international mail from more than 120 countries. The main reason is because of the airlines canceling international fights. You can check more information about the Japan Post at this link.

But delivery to some countries is delayed also.

And some sad news in Japanese entertainment, the popular comedian, Ken Shimura, passed away from Coronavirus on March 30. I've known about him since I was young from a popular Japanese TV show.

Please stay safe and I hope we will get through this crisis together.
