To prevent the coronavirus' spread, U.S. service members and civilians arriving in Japan are placed in "restriction of movement," or ROM, for 14 days. People will soon have to test negative for the illness before being released, under a new policy adopted after a spate of cases were brought to Japan by personnel arriving from the United States. However, some under quarantine aren't following the rules, USFJ Command Chief Master Sgt. Richard Winegardner Jr. told American Forces Network during a livestreamed interview from Yokota.
