On December 16, local time, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government of Japan stated that a woman in her 20s living in the metropolis was diagnosed with a variant of the new crown virus Omi Keron. The woman returned to Japan from the United States, and the airport quarantine was negative. She appeared the next day. She had a fever and was diagnosed later.
According to reports, the woman returned to Japan from the United States on the 8th, and the airport quarantine result was negative, but she developed fever on the 9th during the home isolation period. She was diagnosed with the new crown on the 13th and was hospitalized. She has basically no symptoms at present.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government of Japan is investigating passengers on the same flight to identify close contacts.
In addition, a man in his 20s who met with the woman on the 8th and 9th also tested positive for the new crown and reported that it is likely to be infected with Omi Keron.
Related testing is currently underway.
It is worth noting that after the man developed fever, he watched a football match on the 12th. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government recommended that 80 people sitting around the man be tested for the new crown virus.
Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike expressed the hope that the Japanese central government would implement stricter quarantine.
