Medical experts back reduced PUV distancing

Medical experts support reducing physical distancing rules in public transport to less than one meter.

The group proposed 'Seven Commandments' for safe travel during the pandemic, including wearing masks and shields, avoiding talking and eating, ensuring ventilation, frequent disinfection, prohibiting symptomatic passengers, and appropriate social distancing.

Experts noted that while Japan's subway trains are crowded, passengers maintain safety through mask-wearing and minimal interaction.
