Since late March 2020, Our lab has been helping WCTRS<\/a> to address the impacts of COVID-19 and propose emergent and long-term policy measures\/strategies. Details: here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the whole world is facing various challenges (e.g., lockdown, restrictions of trip making, closure of schools and businesses) from the COVID-19 pandemic, declared by WHO on March 11, 2020, when more than 125,300 cases (4,981 deaths) over the world and more than 81,000 cases (3,176 deaths) in China were identified. As of April 30 [Novemver 3], 2020 (https:\/\/coronavirus.jhu.edu\/map.html), 3,193,961 [46,956,060] infected cases and 227,644 [1,207,768] deaths were confirmed. Such a threat to public health is actually not the first case in human history. The recent examples include the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2019, the Ebola hemorrhagic fever in West Africa in 2014, the H1N1 influenza virus in 2009, the 2005-2016 Zika fever, and SARS in 2003. However, it seems that our human society has not well learned the lessons we experienced in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, both global and domestic information about the impacts of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) on transport, logistics, tourism, and daily life as well as relevant policies\/measures are summarized. The information will be updated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A nation-wide questionnaire survey on the impacts of COVID-19 in Japan<\/a><\/strong> (1,052 persons were interviewed)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Along with this information collection activity, our lab implemented a nation-wide questionnaire survey about the impacts of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on transport and life in Japan in March 2020. In this survey, we asked respondents to report changes in their daily activity-travel behavior, long-distance trips, other life activities before and after the Coronavirus event, as well as their attitudes\/opinions. A part of the results (1052 persons from the whole country) is shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
