Fourth Japanese Corona wave potentially endangers Olympics

The corona situation in Japan is not looking good, according to Bernard Catrysse, liaison officer of the BOIC in Japan and director of Arts Flanders Japan. Japan is currently in a fourth corona wave, but it is much more aggressive than the previous ones. The virus has adopted mutations in Japan, which creates a lot of uncertainty.

Japan doesn't do contact tracing and doesn't test enough. Daily life in Japan continues without a lockdown. Japan is a country that is always eager to map everything out, but fails to do so during the corona crisis.
