Is it common for doctors etc to wear masks in medical settings? How is the Covid situation in Japan?

1. It is common. For patients and clinics, it’ll be up to their policy if YOU have to wear one or not. I always wear one.

   Covid spiked but if you’re concerned, bring a few masks and purchase some when you get to your destination at a conbini or drugstore.

2. Doctors wear masks in medical settings everywhere. The COVID situation is low-key bad meaning that infections are likely at an all time high, but because the government changed the method and frequency for reporting cases there are likely many that are unaccounted for. However, symptoms are light to non-existent due to vaccinations and I’d say most people are mask less outside now
