Japan announced the expansion of the inbound passenger control list to include 6 countries and regions, including the United States and California

According to the news of Japan's "Sankei Shimbun" on the evening of december 2, the Japanese government announced on the 2nd that due to the spread of the mutated new coronavirus Omilton strain around the world, it is necessary to strengthen entry control, and will add 6 countries and regions such as California to the control list.

In addition to California, the United States, there are Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, Ghana, Saudi Arabia, Norway. As of now, Japanese travelers from 57 countries and regions who enter Japan are required to wait for 3 days at designated agencies as required, starting from December 4.

Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio previously announced that new entrants to foreigners would be suspended in principle. New entries for foreigners refer to the return to Japan of foreigners who have newly applied for entry, Japanese people and their spouses, and foreigners with Japanese residency status. Japan's "lockdown" initiative has been criticized by the WHO as "unjustifiable" to decide whether or not to allow its entry based on whether it is its own nationals.

At present, the mutated new coronavirus Omiljung strain has spread to 32 countries and regions around the world. (Overseas Network Wang Shanning)
