[Japon] Japan to tighten borders for travelers from China on Dec. 30

Japan will tighten its border controls for travelers from China on Friday, as the latter nation is seeing a surge in COVID-19 infections, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Tuesday. The announcement, which marks the first time Japan has tightened its borders since foreign tourists were allowed to enter without restrictions in October, pours cold water on expectations of an influx of Chinese tourists over the Chinese New Year period, which begins Jan. 22.

[Japon] Japan reopens to individual foreign tourists, lifts arrival cap

Individual foreign tourists could finally enter Japan with few restrictions on Oct. 11, when the government lifted most of its remaining COVID-19 border controls. Gone is the unpopular requirement that tourists must travel on package tours to be allowed into Japan.

[Viêt Nam] Nghiên cứu mới: Dịch Covid-19 xuất phát từ chợ Vũ Hán, Trung Quốc

Deux études, l’une sur l’épidémiologie et l’autre sur la génétique, confirment que la pandémie de Covid-19 est bien partie d’un marché d’animaux sauvages de la ville de Wuhan (Wuhan), province du Hubei, en Chine. Le gouvernement de Pékin a nié à plusieurs reprises cette possibilité et a même largement propagé que la Chine est victime d’un virus venant de l’étranger.

The Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan was the early epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic

Understanding how severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in 2019 is critical to preventing zoonotic outbreaks before they become the next pandemic. The Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, China, was identified as a likely source of cases in early reports but later this conclusion became controversial. We show the earliest known COVID-19 cases from December 2019, including those without reported direct links, were geographically centered on this market. We report that live SARS-CoV-2 susceptible mammals were sold at the market in late 2019 and, within the market, SARS-CoV-2-positive environmental samples were spatially associated with vendors selling live mammals. While there is insufficient evidence to define upstream events, and exact circumstances remain obscure, our analyses indicate that the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 occurred via the live wildlife trade in China, and show that the Huanan market was the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic.
