Regarding the border measures for the new coronavirus, the government will exempt people from waiting at quarantine stations if they have been vaccinated from next month, except for those who enter from some countries such as South America. I decided.
The 14-day waiting period at home is also exempted when the test is negative after the 10th day after entering Japan.
The government has asked people entering from countries and regions where the new coronavirus is endemic to wait for three days at accommodations managed by the quarantine station, and then 14 days after entering the country after leaving the facility. We are asking you to wait at home until it has passed.
Under these circumstances, if it can be confirmed by a certificate etc. that 14 days have passed since the vaccination approved in Japan, assuming that vaccination is progressing at home and abroad, the waiting at the facility should be exempted. I decided.
If you can get a negative result by PCR test etc. after 10 days after entering Japan, you will be exempted from waiting at home at that point.
On the other hand, in nine countries such as South America where the mutant virus "Mu strain" has been found, new immigrants are required to wait for six days at the quarantine facility, and until 14 days have passed since the arrival. I'm going to have them wait at home.
This mechanism will be applied from midnight on the 1st of next month.
