Introduction of PCR test reservation system for overseas travelers in business July 28, 6:25

Ahead of the full-scale re-entry of traffic to and from Asia, it is expected that a PCR test reservation system for business travelers will be introduced at the end of September.

The government is proceeding with discussions with 16 countries and regions such as China, Thailand, and Vietnam to mutually allow business persons to enter the country. This means that instead of not quarantining the product, there are many cases where a certificate with a negative PCR test is required to be submitted.

For this reason, the government is preparing to introduce a system that allows you to reserve the nearest medical institution at the end of September so that you can receive a PCR test immediately before you travel abroad.

According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the number of people who can carry out PCR tests for business travelers is currently only about a few hundred people a day across the country, and the challenge is to expand the inspection system in Japan to resume full-scale traffic. I will.

The government is broadly looking for medical institutions to register in the reservation system, and is also considering establishing a testing facility at the airport.
