Keidanren has officially announced new recommendations to the government to revitalize economic activity that had been depressed by the corona wreck.
Regarding immigration control, the policy is to encourage the government to further review the immigration control, such as exemption from waiting measures after entry for vaccinated persons.
On the 8th, Keidanren announced new proposals for revitalizing socio-economic activities.
According to the proposal, more than 70% of the total population has completed vaccination with the new coronavirus in Japan, and it is urgent to take measures to resume business traffic with overseas, so immigration control should be further reviewed. It is said.
Specifically, the current immigration procedures, which take a long time, such as exemption from waiting measures at home after entering the country for vaccinated people and confirmation of documents to be submitted face-to-face, have been revised, and procedures such as digitization of vaccination certificates have been made. I want you to speed up the process.
On the other hand, as for measures to suppress the spread of infection, on the premise of the spread of oral medicine, we will consider making it possible to treat mildly ill patients at general hospitals, etc. From the perspective of curbing the number of employees, the reduction target for the number of employees who have been working so far should be reviewed.
Keidanren has a policy of working with the government to realize the recommendations.

Since more than 20% are vaccinated, I would like to ask them to develop various policies. "
In addition, regarding the government's reduction of the waiting period at home etc. to 3 days in principle for immigrants for business purposes under certain conditions, "I should have gone at once with zero than 3 days, but first of all, the first I would like to evaluate it as a step. I think that the government will take a step-by-step and realistic response while observing the situation in the future. " He acknowledged that it is necessary to further relax the current border measures, such as reviewing the "Infectious Disease Risk Information" and saying that only people who have been vaccinated in Japan can enter the country.
