Was true during the war and remains true to this day: You can’t trust the Japanese.

 Virus cluster reported at Shizuoka hotel hosting Brazilian Olympians

TOKYO

At least eight staff at a Japanese hotel hosting Brazil's Olympic judo team have tested positive for coronavirus, local officials said Thursday.

Health and sports officials at Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, said virus screenings were done before the judo delegation of around 30 members arrived there on Saturday.

None of the infected individuals came in contact with the athletes, they said.

The news comes as Tokyo prepares to host the Olympic Games mostly behind closed doors, with strict anti-infection measures placed on athletes, officials and journalists.
