The article is about Japan but the article is on El Pais - For the Integral Department of El Salvador.
This is a Spanish article, translated (badly?) to English.
Japan has already announced the intention to do clinical trials of ivermectin. It's news that they are going to approve new drugs immediately. They "could" deliver for example, ivermectin and AVIGAN. (This 2020-05-30 article says Japan has pushed off approval of AVIGAN until June or later. June is tomorrow.)
AVIGAN is a Japanese-made drug. I don't think it is approved elsewhere. Ivermectin was discovered by a Japanese scientist; he won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Medicine for this discovery.
For me, the interesting thing about the article is the three reasons given for Japan's low infection rate, which is 1/44th of the US rate.

And the Minister of Fiscal and State Policy for COVID-19 infection, Prime Minister Abe said: "The Japanese government will approve Ivermectin in a clinical trial at Kitasato University, control measures, and (right) Mr. Fumiyasu Akegawa , President of DEVNET International (Photographed on December 20, 2017)
The article:
While many governments around the world force the closure, Japanese Prime Minister Abe calls on industries and corporations to shut down and for people to stay home, but allows them to do so voluntarily.
The Japanese government declared a state of emergency COVID-19 on May 25. Life and industrial structure will change considerably from now on. We intend to recover the economy and overcome the recession.
Medical experts from the Japan Medical Association, the Japan Pharmaceutical Association, the Japan Nursing Association, and the Japan Epidemiological Association, etc., and government officials continue to work hard to treat infected people and prevent the spread of virus to contain fear escalation.
Thanks to the orderly culture and character of the Japanese, people comply with government instructions in a state of emergency. For example, many people stay home on request. Almost all people wear masks. The staff then serves customers through transparent panels on the boxes to prevent infection in stores. People never forget to disinfect.
# The Japanese government will approve the drugs as treatment for COVID-19 immediately.
New drugs take a long time to distribute in Japan markets. Therefore, we could deliver medications directly to people in need, primarily medications that work well against COVID-19, for example, ivermectin and AVIGAN.
Ivermectin was developed by Dr. Satoshi Omura, Professor Emeritus at Kitasato University, Nobel Prize winner. We have used Ivermectin as a parasiticide. Cell culture examination revealed 99.98% success with SARS-CoV-2.
Very likely that 99.98% number is from the Australian Monash 48 hours study.
Abe said: "The Japanese government will approve Ivermectin in clinical trials at the University of Kitasato and AVIGAN as a flu medicine, etc."
We've been hearing about someday-trials for about 6 weeks, if memory serves.
There are some opinions that SARS-CoV-2 has a common point with the influenza virus (type S, L, etc.), the SARS virus and bacteria that cause tuberculosis, then some research is underway to combat the infection.
? Weird.
# 3 reasons why Japan has a small number of infected people .
13,396 people have already left the hospital or have left the cure (May 24). There are 749 COVID-19 deaths (May 24) with a low mortality rate of 5%.
Medical experts have 16,352 hospital patient beds to improve the healthcare system (May 8).
Japan has 16,550 people infected despite having 120 million inhabitants.
This site says Japan has 133 cases/million, and the US has 5,553/million -- 42 times Japan's rate of infection.
(I'm surprised to see that 9 countries have more infections/million than the US, including Singapore! Qatar tops the list at 19,783!!)
Why does Japan have a small number of infected people?
3 reasons are considered below.
The first reason is the weather. Japan has 4 seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The temperature changes widely throughout the year.
When it's hot and the cherry blossoms bloom in March, the yellow sands of the Yellow River in China are carried by the wind. Many pollen allergies break out due to Japanese cedar above the mountains.The long rainy season in early spring, called "Natanedzuyu," probably flushes out floating matter and viruses in the air. High humidity is reported to decrease virus infection. Then it heats up to over 22 ° C, the soil temperature is occasionally higher than 40 ° C due to reflection. Many types of viruses, for example the influenza virus, are killed above 40 ° C.
The second reason is national customs. Although living in traditional Japanese-style houses is on the decline and most people live in western houses, they are not in the habit of entering the house with their shoes on. People necessarily take off their shoes at the entrance. Therefore, people do not carry dirt from the soles of their shoes and viruses to their home. They do not use handshakes or hug and kiss when they meet people in Japan. They surely wash their hands after going to the bathroom and before meals because they are clean people. To avoid infecting people, for example, with handshakes, they always clean their hands and bathe each day in hot water at 42 ° C, possibly to prevent COVID-19 infection.
The third reason is that most people have antibodies to viruses thanks to the BCG vaccine and others, taken when they were babies or elementary school students, because there were many people with tuberculosis in Japan in the past. This is a good point for Japanese medical science. The number of COVID-19 infections and deaths is reported to be related to the number of people receiving the BCG vaccine, with BCG possibly preventing SARS-CoV-2. In how many countries in the world almost all people receive the BCG vaccine? There is also a high vaccination rate against the influenza virus in Japan, compared to other countries. One of the reasons for the high rate of contaminated older people may be that the BCG vaccine loses its effects for the time being.
The Japanese response to COVID-19 could protect against infection by explosive spread.
We believe that the previous three Japanese responses to COVID-19 are important in preventing people from contracting an explosive spread infection, while the media and the medical convention do not mention anything about it. Social attitude could be important to prevent and reduce COVID-19. Taking culture, science, medicine, and pharmacy into account is important in managing COVID-19. There are not only medicines, but also many types of diets and healthy foods, which are useful for our health.
COVID-19 will quickly run in the southern hemisphere, where it will soon turn into winter, and the 3 reasons why Japan has a small number of infections would be helpful to many countries. Many people in the world would know that Japan has good methods to prevent a secondary infection in the future. We congratulate the great effort of medical experts and government officials, and we hope that COVID-19 will be defeated as soon as possible in the world.
