Chinese tourists can spread dangerous new variants: 1000% travel spike forces Japan and India to require negative coronavirus tests and brief quarantine periods from Chinese travelers.
Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio said China’s “lack of information-sharing and transparency” about the coronavirus, and the “huge discrepancies” between tallies of infections and fatalities from various sources, compelled Japan to take steps to “prevent the rapid increase of infections in this country.”
Risk of new variants: The lack of transparent data from China—particularly about viral genomic sequencing—is making it “increasingly difficult for public health officials to ensure that they will be able to identify any potential new variants and take prompt measures to reduce the spread”.
