The Japanese government has decided to require all entrants to submit proof of negative pre-departure testing for the New Coronavirus during the period of emergency declarations issued by the three prefectures, including Tokyo.
The Japanese Ministry of health, Labour and Welfare decided on January 8 to strengthen immigration control in conjunction with the declaration of emergency by the three prefectures. From January 13, all people entering Japan will be required to submit proof of a negative test for the novel coronavirus.
Japan, which in principle prohibits entry to 150 countries and regions, has recently exempted businesspeople from having to submit a negative test for the new coronavirus by simplifying entry procedures and implementing business lanes for 11 countries and regions, including China and South Korea.
The previous exception for the test certificate within 72 hours was exempted for some business-related persons who had reached bilateral agreements, such as those who had been quarantined for 14 days, but it will no longer be exempted. From the 13th, businesspeople from these 11 countries will also be required to submit a negative test certificate for a new crown test within 72 hours before entering the country, and Japanese nationals will also be required to submit such certificates until the emergency is lifted.
The Japanese government requires that those who cannot submit a certificate be quarantined and tested three days after entering the country.
At present, the new crown infection in Japan is getting more and more serious. 7,790 people were confirmed with new crown infection nationwide on the 9th, more than 7,000 people for three consecutive days. Tokyo is 2,268 people, more than 2,000 people for three consecutive days.
The number of deaths is also rising, with the number of deaths due to NCC virus in Japan accumulating to more than 4,000 by January 9. It took a month to reach 3,000 after exceeding 2,000, and another 1,000 in just over half a month after that.
The government is still planning to maintain business-related travel with 11 countries and regions, including China and South Korea, that have reached agreements.
