你好, Finemakers.
Introducing the tourist spots in Tainan [Yoshikusa Green Tunnel].

The location is in Taigang National Park in Tainan, a city in southern Taiwan.
Here, the activity of riding a small boat and going through the natural tunnel made of mangrove trees is popular.
The weather was good this weekend and many people visited for sightseeing.

Boarding time is about 30 minutes. The departure time is not fixed, and we will leave when the number of people gather.
Although the guide's explanation is in Chinese, you can enjoy observing the surrounding landscape and finding small crabs that wander among the trees, even if you do not understand the language.

Let Finemakers do the sightseeing in southern Taiwan!

In order to establish a "travel corridor" between Hawaii and Japan, the State of Hawaii exempts the Japanese Government from excluding the 14-day self-isolation measure imposed on Japanese travelers when returning from Hawaii. It seems that it is requesting that the recommendation be reduced from the current “Level 3” (stop travel, recommendation to stop travel) to “Level 1”.

In addition, access to the PCR test is a condition of travel, but the test is expensive at US$250-300 once per US$.

Since Thursday, March 26th, Hawaii has enforced self-isolation measures for all arrivals from outside the state for 14 days after arrival. Initially, the plan to exempt from the preliminary screening test was to start on August 1, but it was postponed to September 1 due to the spread of corona infection in the mainland US.

According to the Japanese government's announcement this time, if sightseeing in Hawaii is resumed as scheduled in September and direct flights from Japan will be operated, it is not too far from going to and from Japan and Hawaii. The view came out.
(Based on Honolulu Star Advertiser article)

We hope that the situation will soon settle and that everyone will be able to travel with peace of mind as soon as possible.

Hawaii Time Monday, July 27, Prime Minister Abe and Foreign Minister Mogi said that in addition to the 12 countries and regions where the Japanese government will be able to travel internationally, Hawaii is also being considered.

The State of Hawaii is the only state in the United States that Japan is eligible for this traffic resumption program. Other 12 countries/regions include China, South Korea, Taiwan and major European countries. Details such as dates are not disclosed.

Following this announcement, Governor of Ige State in Hawaii commented yesterday. (Hereinafter, comment from the Governor of Ige)

"On behalf of the State of Hawaii, I am honored and grateful that Prime Minister Abe and the Government of Japan have considered Hawaii as a safe and reliable destination for international travel.... Japan and Hawaii have a long history of culture. There is a connection and the friendly relationship has been inherited and deepened for generations.It is important to be able to travel between Japan and Hawaii, and this plan will be possible while preventing the spread of the new corona infection. I think there is a way.''

What is "Japan-Hawaii Safe Travel Measures"?
The "Japan-Hawaii Safe Travel Measures" announced by the Government of Japan this time was carried out by travelers before entering Japan, in addition to the screening when entering Japan, as well as the PCR test conducted before entering Japan, in order to prevent the spread of the new corona infection. You will be required to provide a negative result.

The Hawaii state government and the tourism industry have recommended a travel agreement “Travel Bubble” between countries and regions with low infection rates such as Hawaii and Japan.

If the program launches, state officials expect Hawaii to have about 690 Japanese travelers a day. By the way, before the pandemic, an average of 3,500 to 6,000 tourists came from Japan each day.

As of August 1, 2020, Guam has 359 new coronavirus cases.

Japan is currently leaking from the Low Risk area, but the score is given below.
The Guam-COVID-19 Area Risk (CAR) Score is uniquely developed by the Governor of Lou Leon Guerrero's Medical Advisory Board to assess the potential risk of spreading a new coronavirus to other states and countries through travel. Is the main tool used for

The current evaluation criteria are the following three numerical values.
・Doubled time of infected cases ・Test positive rate ・Number of new infected people per 100,000

Infection doubling time is related to the rate at which the new coronavirus can spread rapidly. As the name implies, it measures the number of days it takes for the number of infected cases to double. For example, the first two weeks of a public health emergency in Guam had a doubling time of 3 days for infected cases. That is, the total number of cases over the past two weeks has doubled every three days on average. Currently, the doubling time for infected cases over the past two weeks is calculated to be 189 days.
The positive test rate refers to the proportion of COVID-19-positive people out of the total number of people tested.
New infections per 100,000 is the rate used to track the proportion of new infections per person in a jurisdiction.

CAR Score A country, state or region must have a CAR score of 5.0 or less to be considered a low risk area.
・Doubled time of infected cases> 256 days ・ Positive test rate <2%
・Number of new infections per 100,000 people <2

A jurisdiction can achieve a CAR score even if any number is below the norm, offset by the better number of any other individual number. For example, if the number of infections is doubled for 256 days, and the number of new infections per 100,000 is 1.5 even if the test positive rate is 2.5%, the CAR score will be 5.

CAR scores are based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), The New York Times, The COVID Tracking Project and Our World in Data.

The next update of information is planned for this weekend.
