‘Coronavirus’ vandalism written over Japanese restaurant in Paris

In what has been dubbed as an act of racism, a Japanese restaurant in Paris was vandalized with “coronavirus” graffiti. Twitter user @Lecoachjp, a French national and Japanese resident, shared photos of the vandalism via Twitter on Feb 17.
