The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will also use LINE, a communication app, to reduce the burden on health centers by checking the health status of health centers making phone calls to returnees for two weeks.

As the outbreak of the new coronavirus spreads globally, health centers call the quarantine stations at airports for a two-week call after returning from 73 designated countries and regions. We check health condition by putting on.

However, as the number of subjects is increasing and young people are less likely to answer calls, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided to use the LINE communication app to reduce the burden on health centers.

For those who have given consent when entering Japan, the health status will be checked with a message via LINE and automatic voice of AI, and consultation with a medical institution will be made as necessary.

The airport quarantine station has already asked returnees to use LINE from 10th of this month, and will start using it everywhere on 14th.
