Director General, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Amb. Sujan R. Chinoy's column on Japan's response to COVID-19 pandemic, titled 'Coronavirus pandemic, slow to hit Japan, is yet another crisis that challenges country’s resilience', has been published in The Indian Express on April 08, 2020.
Japan’s case-by-case approach to the reopening of schools by regional authorities has been criticised. There have been calls for a strict lockdown before it is too late to avert the same fate as Italy, Spain and the US, writes Amb. Chinoy.
