Airport In Central Japan Resumes Intl. Flights
An airport in central Japan has partially resumed international flights following a suspension of more than two months due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Philippine Airlines restarted service between the Chubu international airport in Aichi Prefecture and Manila on Wednesday.
The outbreak began forcing cancellations of flights at the airport in late January. All international flights were suspended on April 1.
People carrying suitcases formed lines at a check-in counter with hanging plastic sheets on Wednesday. Airport staff wearing face shields took the passengers' temperatures.
A Philippine man who was visiting Japan on business said he was looking forward to seeing his family, but worried that he might have the coronavirus.
Another man said he felt at ease during his stay in Japan as the country was taking adequate preventive measures against the virus.
