His face and waist were beaten, and his nose was bleeding. The perpetrators scolded him ā€œcoronavirus, Chinese, fuxxā€. They had been withheld by a guardian and the victim took the opportunity to escape. On 25 Feb, the school responded that they would reinforce the protection and safety of Japanese children.
