In Japan, there have been a few cases of people falsely posting information about employees of stores being infected with the coronavirus, thus hurting their business and causing defamation.

In one case, police in Fukushima arrested an office worker after he posted on an anonymous online bulletin board that a store owned by a family were infected with the coronavirus. The store began receiving multiple calls, which caused damage and decrease in sales. The suspect said he heard gossip from work and posted it.
