Japan announces 'care package' to Covid patients

Tokyo: Covid isolation can be challenging for those living alone. But it is something that needs to be followed strictly in order to maximize protection and prevent the virus from spreading. To prevent the spread of coronavirus in Japan, the government has urged people to stay home as much as possible and surprised everyone by providing a stunning "care package" of essential items to encourage them.

In many countries, citizens were left helpless in lockdowns during the Corona epidemic, but this did not happen in Japan, and if a member of the household fell victim to Covid-19, he was provided with a free "care package".

It is all the more necessary for teenagers and elderly people isolating at home or in a hotel. Japanese government is delivering packaged food items to their home.

A photo of the received "care package" has gone viral on the social media platforms showing how much 'care package' they received from the Japanese government while quarantining at home with Covid-19.

Some are just baffled by the quantity that was received.

Posting an image of the delivered items, the user wrote: "Japanese government sends individuals quarantining at home free care packages! Shown is for 1 person (me) in Tokyo.”

"I got tested positive for Covid a couple of days ago. Every morning I get a phone call that requires me to update how I am feeling that day in regards to temperature, symptoms, and oxygen levels," it added.

The user wrote that he was asked by authorities if he wanted to stay in a hotel during his isolation period. After he said no, they asked him if he wanted food to be sent home.

Much to his surprise, free food was sent to his home.

"They then asked me if I wanted food to be sent to my house, to which I agreed (it was free), this care package was not what I expected, however. I am not sure if it's identical to what others who have tested positive in Tokyo have received.

The user went on to say that the delivery mostly included meals like noodles, coffee, electrolyte water, packaged fruits, instant rice, and chips.
