A cardboard hotel in the luggage room. Tokyo Narita Airport wants to be ready. Given the possibility that the beds of the surrounding hotels will be filled with quarantined passengers, he has created this alternative where newcomers from abroad may have to stay while waiting for the results of tests for the coronavirus.

Although with much fewer flights - and a closed airstrip - planes with passengers that arrive from countries like the United States and Italy continue to land in Narita and must undergo tests for the virus before they can return home. The results may take a day or two , a Health Ministry official told Reuters.

Makeshift hard cardboard beds are used in evacuation operations when disaster strikes. They have a small mattress and a blanket , as travelers like @ wasabi1094 who have already tried them have reported: "Today I will sleep here at Narita Airport. I cannot leave until they give me the test result."

The cardboard beds are also designed to solve another additional problem: the lack of public transport due to the crisis, which causes some passengers to be forced to wait in the terminal for someone to pick them up.
