This epidemic has spread to Japan. How much economic damage has it caused to Japan?

It’s unclear how much economic loss it will cause, but if it is not controlled in time, I am afraid that the Olympic Games will not be held. If the Olympic Games cannot be held, the loss will be not just a little bit of money, but a huge loss. Billions, or even billions or tens of billions of losses are really not an exaggeration at all. The Japanese government may cry.

As of now, Japan’s tourism industry has been affected. In previous years, China had a seven-day Spring Festival holiday. Countries close to China were popular for outbound travel. There were also many Chinese people who went to Japan to celebrate the New Year. This year, Tokyo Tower was specially lit up in red. However, the epidemic outbreak in China is so serious. The air tickets for those who want to go to Japan will definitely be refunded. If they have already gone, they will have to be quarantined after coming back, which will also delay the time to resume work after the holiday.

In addition, there were people infected with COVID-19 on a Japanese cruise ship this time, and foreign tourists did not dare to come to Japan to take a cruise ship. The losses this time were not just Chinese tourists. After all, at present It has already had an impact on Japan's economy.

Yesterday I saw in my circle of friends that a former colleague had switched jobs to a Sino-Japanese joint venture located in Hangzhou. The current epidemic situation in Hangzhou is also very severe. Japanese companies are still working normally. However, the Hangzhou branch had to stop work and had no way to produce. She posted a short video of warm support sent by her Japanese colleagues across the sea in her circle of friends, but she could see that the boss in Japan was really getting worried.

Actually, as a Chinese citizen, I still feel very sorry. After all, the new coronavirus broke out from China, and now Japan is also affected. There are people infected with new coronavirus pneumonia in Japan and they donated to Wuhan. I have bought so many medical masks. Alas, I feel very close to Japan at this time. I hope that after the virus epidemic, more Chinese tourists and healthy Chinese people will travel to Japan to help Japan's economic recovery.
