TOKYO: The Japanese Defense Ministry will offer a hotel of its own to host people waiting for the results of coronavirus checks after returning from abroad, Defense Minister Taro Kono said Monday.
Hotel Grand Hill Ichigaya in Tokyo, run by the ministry's mutual aid association, will offer 140 rooms accommodating up to 216 people, Kono told a news conference.
Family members are expected to share a room. The hotel will not accept coronavirus patients with mild symptoms set to move to hotels from hospitals under the policy of the Tokyo metropolitan government.
