A person returning to live in Hiroshima Prefecture after an extended stay overseas tested positive for Covid-19, June 1. As they were tested at an (undisclosed) airport outside the prefecture, they are not counted in Hiroshima Prefecture’s total number of cases.
The person was en route to Hiroshima in the car of a friend family member when the results came in and was driven directly to a designated hospital. Testing of the other people in the car and contact tracing is currently being undertaken.
