An In-Depth Analysis on Japan's Handling of the Pandemic
As the threat of COVID-19 continues globally, Japan – the country with many densely populated cities and a large elderly population – gathers the world’s attention. While its initial death numbers were relatively low, the country continuously faces challenges with the serge of case numbers and slow vaccination rollout, while still planning to hold the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics this summer. This webinar will provide an in-depth analysis of how Japan has responded to the COVID-19 crisis from a political and historical perspective.
