Asia: ”Tokyo enlists nightclub workers for videos to help fight coronavirus”

TOKYO – Alarmed by a spike in infections in Tokyo’s nightlife districts, the metropolitan government has released educational videos in the form of a Q&A between nightclub hosts, a hostess and a doctor, hoping to stem the spread of the outbreak.

“What kind of symptoms can a young COVID-19 patient expect?”

“What are medical costs like?”

“How often should we sanitize our hands?”

Those are some of the questions posed in the three videos that feature young workers from nightclubs in the city’s red-light districts where infections have crept up since the government lifted a state of emergency in late May.
