End of the Chinese New Year holidays A large number of mask buyers return to their homeland Chinese Narita Airport February 2 17:53
In China, the extended holidays for the Lunar New Year will be completed in two days, extended to curb the spread of the new coronavirus. At Narita Airport, Chinese tourists who brought back a lot of masks and disinfectants purchased in Japan were seen.
In response to the growing outbreak of the new coronavirus, the Chinese government has decided to reduce the chance of recruitment and curb the spread of the disease, initially setting a large week for the New Year's Day, which was a week from 24 to 30 last month. The holidays were extended for three days.
Since the consecutive holidays are over in two days, at the check-in counter for flights from Narita Airport to China, Chinese tourists wearing masks returning to Japan after spending the consecutive holidays in Japan have long lines, and many bought in Japan. Many people put their masks and other items in cardboard and carry them in carts.
Among them, a 62-year-old man who came from Tianjin with a family of five and went to sightseeing spots such as Mt. Fuji and Hakone said that he bought masks and disinfectants for two cardboard boxes in Japan. I heard that they were out of stock, so I bought a mask for the whole family. I'm a little worried about going home, but I'd like to follow the government's measures. "
On the other hand, a 60-year-old Japanese man who will be relocating to a base in China for an auto parts manufacturer after the New Year holidays says, "I'm unavoidable because I'm at work, but I'm afraid I'll bring my mask and mouthwash. I would like to consider what kind of situation should return to Japan before I start working. "
