Description

The first major outbreak of coronavirus in Japan occurred following the arrival of the cruise ship “Diamond Princess” in Yokohama on 3 February 2020. A first wave of infections hit the country, stretching from about March to early May. A second wave followed in July to August, and a third one got underway in early November. The first and second waves were mild in comparison with those in many countries in Europe or the in the United States. The third one was more serious, though still less severe than in many other countries, reaching more than 5,000 registered infections per day in January 2021.
