A participant in a trial project to resume acceptance of foreign tourists to Japan has tested positive for COVID-19, the Japan Tourism Agency announced Monday.
The person entered Japan via a flight from Thailand on Friday as part of a group tour comprising four people. The person tested negative after taking a PCR test at a Japanese airport.
The tourist reportedly has no fever and is currently quarantining at a hotel in Oita Prefecture.
The route of infection is unknown, said the agency, which has cancelled the group tour to which the infected individual belongs.

The other three individuals tested negative and are quarantining at a different hotel.
