No kissing, disinfect the mic: Japan nightlife sets virus rulesA man wearing a face mask walks past a signboard of a bar in the Kabukicho district, amid the coronavirus disease outbreak in Tokyo, Japan, July 14, 2020. That means no kissing, no sharing plates and conversation should be at right angles to avoid droplet contamination. "As much as possible, kiss only with your partner, and avoid deep kissing," Iwamuro told a news conference, outlining what he described as "kiss etiquette". Strategic testing in the nightlife districts of Tokyo has revealed rising daily cases of coronavirus, predominantly among people in their 20s and 30s. But concern has grown that nightlife has become a scapegoat for the failure of authorities to track and contain the disease.
