Japan is too proud a country to admit they have problems like these that need fixing.
Their politicians exist to cover up problems, not fix them.
You're expected to show up to work even if you get the coronavirus. Taking too much sick leave - even for Covid19 - will get you fired.
In fact, they won't even let you get tested for Covid19 so as not to give you an excuse to call in sick in the first place - also for the sake of keeping their infection statistics lower than other countries.
