Joe Tomei here. This post is a bit more of a feel good post, which I don’t usually do, but if anyone has some more info on this, please pass it on in the comments. It’s from twitter, and I’m trying to find some newspaper article about it.
A number of clusters have been related to workers in Department stores in Osaka and Tokyo, such as Isetan and Umeda Hanshin. These department stores vaccinated all their staff, but neglected to vax the outsourced workers.
As everyone here knows, or should know, the major department store in Kumamoto is Tsuruya, which is a city institution. And if you are worried about clusters in Tsuruya, (according to this second hand twitter info) rather than only give the jab to their employees, Tsuruya gave all employees, outsourced or not, and their families, the opportunity to be vaccinated (not sure if it was voluntary, a condition of working or what)
I’d love to have more details, so if you have seen anything, please share it in the comments.
