The other day, Hanae started coming down with a sore throat and on January 27, he took a PCR test which returned a positive result.
Hanae was previously thought to be a close contact with the staff member who had COVID-19 on January 14, and was self-isolating away from his family until the local health authorities decided that Hanae wasn’t actually a close contact on January 17.
As a precaution, Hanae took a PCR test which came back negative on the same day and resumed his work on January 17.
