With the July Summer Olympics fast approaching, one of Japan’s biggest cities is dealing with a health care crisis caused by a surge in coronavirus cases. It’s a stunning reversal for a country that had, until now, managed the pandemic better than many other advanced nations. Now the U.S. has issued a “no not travel advisory” to Japan. There is no indication of how this will impact the U.S. Olympiads.
#Japan Travel Advisory: Level 4 – Do not travel due to COVID-19-related restrictions. The CDC issued a Level 4 Travel Health Notice, indicating a very high level of COVID-19 in Japan. There are restrictions in place affecting U.S. citizen entry into Japan. https://t.co/Soq2SIfeMJ pic.twitter.com/UTQAQqQC5O
