Japan versus Italy fight against covid-19

Covid-19 has become a threat on the human life worldwide as it is spreading in the masses in the speed metaphorically similar to bullet train. Italy is witnessing the highest death toll by the noble corona virus .On media, Italy is continuously uploading videos and messages globally to show what mistakes they had done in past that became the reason for such fatal tragedy on the country. Whereas, we have the example of country like japan that successfully limited the spread of corona in the country being very near to the China which is the origin of the covid-19 virus.

Mistakes committed by the Italy
In view of the first death in the Italy, the country imposed a localized lockdown. but the people who were outside the red zone area, continued to visit bars, discos, socializing, hugging, kissing etc., neglecting the govt advisories.

How japan encountered covid-19?
Japan is a country which learns from it’s past and adopts conscious steps and habits to fight anything similar in the future.
In 2002 or 2003, japan was stricken by the severe pandemic disease which resulted in numerous deaths in Japan country. Learning from this mistake, japan adopted a culture of wearing masks while travelling outside. Earlier 3-4 among 10 used to wear masks but as the news of arrival of new corona virus covid-19 spreads, approximately 8-9 people out of 10 started to wear masks.
Here, the culture of Japan also played the major role in hindering the spread of corona virus in the community. In Japan culture, people don’t shake hands to say hello instead they bow down in front of each other to greet people.
