New wave of infections threatens to collapse Japan hospitals

Hospitals in Japan are increasingly turning away sick people as the country struggles with surging coronavirus infections and its emergency medical system collapses.

Another feverish man finally reached a hospital after paramedics unsuccessfully contacted 40 clinics.
