Shouldn't be much different from staying in Singapore ba, just keep away from China tourists and crowded area should be fine, wear mask at airports.

I honestly think the situation in Singapore right now is worse than Japan. I'm going to Japan soon too.

Given a choice, I'd rather be in JP now for a few weeks. About time to try shinrin-yoku (forest bathing)

Foreigners who have visited China’s Hubei province within the past 14 days have been denied entry into Japan since Feb. 1. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he’s considering an expansion of immigration curbs.

Not sure if they have implemented yet.

If don’t count the cruise ship, SG more cases than JP, no? And some more if consider on per capita basis, seems like staying here is more risky than going to JP 🤪

I'm actually flying in March next month. Personally email to SIA ytd whether do they allow full refund due to the coronavirus, they say no since the purchase is a non-refundable ticket.

Many prc in japan especially big cities.
But then most of them wear masks, compared to the prc in SG

Japan got much more chinese tourists compared to singapore.
And they love Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto.
Until now Japan only forbid those from Hubei from entering Japan.

Potentially they will have much more cases coming up. I think will be much worse than Singapore.
