Japan's COVID Care Package Unboxing

I got COVID in early January 2022 in Tokyo, Japan. I took my initial PCR test at a PCR testing site after finding out that I was a close contact. I found out my results the next day, which was positive. They referred me to a clinic to get retested, as the PCR testing location was not official. I retested as positive the next day at a Japanese clinic. At this time, COVID tests are free for Tokyo residents. If you see a doctor, you must pay the doctor fee

The Japanese government was notified about my positive test, and they gave me a call to make sure that I was okay. They asked if I wanted to quarantine at home or at a hotel. I chose to stay at home, as I did not have many symptoms and I was living alone. They also asked me if I wanted any food (this care package). With the food, they sent me an oxygen reader as well. My quarantine lasted for 10 days, and during my quarantine, I was messaged on LINE twice a day to fill out a questionnaire regarding my well-being including temperature and oxygen levels.

I was super lucky to not have severe symptoms. I am very grateful for this care package, as I ran out of food during my quarantine since I was not prepared, and it helped me get through the last few days.
