A small group tour under Japan’s reopening pilot scheme was cancelled after one traveller tested positive for Covid. Japan’s tourism agency said the group of four Thai travellers were in the prefecture of Oita when the infection was confirmed
The ‘initial response to the infection was well handled,’ a tourism agency official said. Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said the infection won’t affect Japan’s phased reopening plan or doubling the capon on daily arrivals to 20,000.
