With the spread of the new coronavirus, particularly in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, the government dispatched the first private charter aircraft to return to Japan for those who wish to stay there.
This is the first time that the government has dispatched an aircraft to return Japanese abroad for infectious diseases, and the first flight was carried by a medical team such as doctors and nurses and staff from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there are approximately 650 potential returnees on the 28th, and the number of people that can be accommodated on a charter aircraft at one time is limited. We are making adjustments in the direction of sending to the site.
We are also preparing for the dispatch of the third flight, and will continue to hurry coordination with the Chinese side so that all applicants can return home promptly.
