Students were infected but that may have been from infected adult(s) (1st but perhaps not index case, 19MAR; also a cultural mixer, 14MAR). No info on any student-to-student spread

In Japan.
Testing ~290 ppl/day (past 16d) tests/day in Tokyo for a city of 10mill.
I wonder if that has a role in affecting apparent low spread..given "lockdown light"?
By comparison, in Qld, popn 5mill (widespread) we have been testing ~1,900 ppl/day over that period
Virus testing is always an essentially important part of knowing what you have in your backyard. You can't mount an informed response if you don't know this basic information.
General comment: you can't crow about how few cases you have in Country X, if Country X isn't testing enough.

Yes. Cloth masks (less so than surgical masks & less again than N95 respirators) *can* reduce risk of inhaling potentially (an as yet unproven, but possible route of SARS-CoV-2 infection) infectious aerosols & can protect mouth/nose from impact of larger propelled wet droplets 1/
The degree of risk reduction is not great (see links), but some risk reduction is better than none.

The @CDCgov now agree that cloth masks have a role-setting them apart from our public health bodies around the world.
