Japan Downgrades the Legal Position of the New Crown

On May 8, Japan lowered the positioning of the new coronavirus infectious disease in the “Infectious Diseases Law” to the same “category 5” as seasonal influenza, marking the full start of daily life of “coexisting with the new crown”.

Epidemic prevention measures are left to individual judgment, and anti-epidemic items such as disinfectant are gradually removed, but many office workers still wear masks.

Even in restored bustling tourist attractions, traces of the epidemic still remain.
