This was reported by the Russian embassy in Tokyo.

"It has been announced that foreigners may be denied entry if there is reason to suspect they have signs of infection with this infection," the Russian Embassy in Japan said on Facebook.

It is noted that at checkpoints across the Japanese border, medical posts have been organized to examine those who are diagnosed with visible signs of acute respiratory infections.

The embassy asks to take into account the toughening of the approaches of local authorities to enter the country when planning trips to Japan.

Earlier it became known that the organizing committee of the 2020 Olympics is not considering the issue of a possible cancellation of the upcoming Summer Games in Tokyo due to an outbreak of coronavirus.
