How the coronavirus was defeated in Japan – says a Greek working there

Stelios Preserakos, Greek teacher in the Land of the Rising Sun, talks about Japan’s victory in the battle against coronavirus.

The rapid decline in coronavirus cases is a cultural matter, the teacher says. According to him, the mask played a decisive role in this, its widespread use:

“In Tokyo, a city of 40 million people, we had just 17 cases today. Although they started late, they succeeded. Borders that are closed to this day. They used to wear masks. They do not hug, but bow. They had the courage to organize the Olympic Games without people. “

Mr. Preserakos emphasizes that there are currently no restrictive measures in force. But if the government recommends something related to the pandemic to citizens, they do everything automatically and unquestioningly.

During the pandemic, 1.73 million Japanese citizens have contracted the coronavirus. Lost the battle for the lives of 18,347 people.

Earlier it was reported that the fifth wave of coronavirus declined sharply in Japan. Scientists suggest that the delta strain COVID-19, which caused this wave, self-destructed. The main reason is believed to be genetic changes in one of the non-structural proteins nsp14. This opinion said the professor National Institute of Genetics Ituro Inoue.
