كيف تعاملت اليابان مع الموجة الأولى من جائحة كوفيد 19

Abstract EN

The Japanese success in countering the primary stage of the Covid-19 pandemic was largely underpinned by a proper understanding of the transmission dynamics through identifying clusters and finding case links through investigations by local public health centers.

Collaboration between the prime minister of Japan office, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and the Ministry of Defense, in addition to dependency on the awareness of the Japanese educated society, both resulted in that momentous success.

In the early phase of the Corona pandemic, Japan managed unprecedented quarantines and realized the difficulty of controlling COVID-19, finally recording a relatively high number of deaths per million in the Western Pacific region.

In our quest to learn from, adapt models, and develop local initiatives in the Arab world; studying the Japanese model becomes a necessity.
