This thread is for discussion of the coronavirus / COVID-19 pandemic as it relates to Japan. Non-Japan-related discussion should be taken either to the most relevant forum, the Coronavirus and Travel forum, or the OMNI forums.
UPDATE FOR TOURISTS LOOKING TO VISIT JAPAN AFTER COVID-19 BORDER RESTRICTIONS EASE
Japan does currently not allow entry for general tourism purposes. Most visa waivers are suspended, and travel to Japan for non resident foreigners generally require a visa. And quarantine as described for the countries and territories below.
UPDATE FOR PEOPLE WITH VISAS THAT ALLOW ENTRY INTO JAPAN
The quarantine requirements mentioned below will generally apply to entrants in Japan. As the conditions of who can obtain a visa for entry on exceptional circumstances are not clearly listed anywhere, it is necessary to confirm entry requirements with your local Japanese diplomatic representatives
Spouses and children of foreign permanent residents or Japanese nationals, can obtain visas for short term stays (up to 90 days) by applying in person or by mail at an overseas Japanese consulate. Required documentation includes application form, letter with reason for purpose of visit, bank statement and Koseki Tohon. Processing times have been reported as on the spot to up to one week.
From March 1st, business travelers, students and technical trainees can again enter Japan. There is a need to have a receiving organisation to apply for the visa. For business travelers, there will be one point of contact with the Ministry of Health Labour and Welfare. Though the full details are not published yet (as of typing on the 27th of February, please add them if you have seen them)
Business travelers must have a Japanese company or organization apply for a Certificate for Completion of Registration to the MHLW ERFS system. This is a two step process. The company must first register and then apply for the Certificate for the traveler. These can both be done online and completed in less than an hour.The website for doing this is https://entry.hco.mhlw.go.jp/.
After getting the certificate the traveler must apply for visa at the Japanese Consulate or Embassy with jurisdiction for where they reside. (They are quite strict about this. E.g. you can't apply while traveling in a foreign country.) The information on the Consulate pages state that you need Letter of Guarantee, Invitation Letter, etc when applying for the visa. In fact, however, if you have the EFRS certificate, all you need is the visa application, your passport and a photo. The Consulate will issue the visa within 5 days.
UPDATE JAPANESE CITIZENS AND RETURNING FOREIGN JAPAN RESIDENTS
All people travelling to Japan has to present a negative PCR test taking no earlier than. 72 hours before departure to be able to board the flight. The certificate has to meet the information requirements and test types from the Japanese government.

As far as hospital beds in use, what types of patients are these? ie, what is considered serious enough in Japan to be hospitalized for COVID? Is it someone who is just symptomatic no matter how mild, someone who has a bad cough and lack of energy, or someone who truly needs to be hospitalized and is at risk of serious injury/death?

Okinawa became the first prefecture to reenact some flimsy restrictions on a local level, without any national government assistance. From tomorrow until August 14th, Okinawans are asked to eliminate unnecessary, non-urgent trips (seems not to apply to tourists though), all eating estabilshments (including COVID prevention certified establishments) are asked to serve parties of no more than four people for no longer than two hours, and organizers of events with over 1000 attendants are asked to submit detailed plans of infection prevention measures to the government.
This of course satisfies nobody, as the hospitals call it insufficient, and the businessmen want no restrictions whatsoever.

I really appreciate hearing the perspective of folks that are on the ground in Japan and it really does help to listen to you folks instead of the various travel bloggers/influencers who insist that Japan reopened yesterday. As a regular traveller to Japan pre-pandemic, I have been wanting to return but even if Japan reopened to the casual visitor tomorrow, I'd much rather others go first and deal with the inevitable bureaucratic hoops that will be placed before visitors. Not that it's a like-for-like replacement for Japan but I've elected to travel to South Korea this fall instead of waiting for Japan to reopen.
That being said, scouring the excellent AeroRoutes shows that a decent amount of airlines are restarting routes to Japan in the fall/winter. I'm just wondering who exactly is going to be flying on these flights as my personal feeling is that the country will not truly reopen until 2024. I mean, Taipei to Hakodate five times a week while the borders are for all intents and purposes closed?

But in general, priority for hospitalization is supposed to be given to the elderly and those with certain pre-existing conditions.

At yesterday's meeting of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's panel of experts, several members voiced the opinion that, based on expected number of deaths from current infection numbers, "we believe the time has come to consider a state of emergency".

Among them is top level wrestler Tamawashi, who at 37 years old has fought in 1448 consecutive matches without missing a single day of main tournament action before today.

Yet another late withdrawal by another sumo stable, this time Oitukaze stable, who found out so late that some of their lower ranked wrestlers had already wrestled before the remainder of the wrestlers pulled out. Looking at the top rank matches, it seems that there will five consecutive matches that will be won by forfeit.
But there was some good news in sumo today. Back in 2021:
As a result of this, Asanoyama was given a one year suspension from sumo, during which time he racked up six consecutive zero win tournaments, falling from the ozeki rank to the third lowest division of Sandanme.
This tournament was his return to sumo, and today he proceeded to win the championship of the Sandanme division. This will assure his promotion to the Makushita rank, giving him a chance to return to the paid ranks of sumo by the end of the year.

He initially denied the allegations, but after being presented with additional evidence was forced to fess up.
I am a fan of Asanoyama, but the Sumo Kyokai needs to throw the book at him. Last year former Komusubi Abi committed the same offense. Those trips were only in violation of Kyokai guidelines at the time, but it was still called "unpardonable", and he was ultimately given a three basho suspension and forced to move back into his heya (dude has a wife and a kid). To go out and do the same thing after that precedent has been set during a national emergency proves that Asanoyama has the brains of a prime minister.

I've read some articles saying that healthcare services are currently under pressure in Japan.
Over 70% of Tokyo's COVID infection routes unknown, health care services under pressure - The Mainichi
The implication here seems to be that services are under pressure because people are seeking medical help or seeing a doctor when it's not necessary.
I don't know about Japan, but in the UK it's always been made very clear that you should NOT see a doctor if you have/suspect you have COVID. Only seek medical help (via the phone initially) if you need urgent medical attention, struggling to breathe etc.

When asked about the tight situation at medical institutions during an interview after the meeting, Inokuchi replied, "A sore throat or fever is not a sign of a serious condition. I hope everyone will see a doctor after making a calm decision."
