TOKYO -- As a third wave of coronavirus cases washes over Japan, companies are bolstering measures intended to keep employees safe.
Business dinners are a major target. Nippon Telegraph & Telephone, which had let staff use their own judgment for such gatherings while encouraging them to take precautions against infection, went a step further on Tuesday and urged employees to avoid them "as much as possible." Auto parts manufacturer G-Tekt is banning business dinners for personnel at its head office starting Monday.
