Government calls on self-restraint to travel around the world Government spreads new Coronavirus infection March 26 4:43
In response to the worldwide spread of the new coronavirus, the government has issued a Level 2 "Danger Information" to the whole world, urging them to stop traveling abroad urgently. This is the first time that the government has demanded that all countries, regions and regions refrain from traveling around the world.
In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, the government has issued a report on infectious disease danger information issued to countries and regions that require attention to infectious diseases, in Europe and Italy, Italy and Spain, Iran, China and South Korea. In some areas, "Level 3" is issued to recommend that you stop traveling.
On the 18th of this month, we released "Level 1", calling for careful attention to travel around the world.
Under such circumstances, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested last night to stop unnecessary and urgent travel around the world for `` danger information '' issued in consideration of security situations overseas, in addition to `` infectious disease danger information '' 2 ".
It is unusual for “danger information” to be issued because of an infectious disease, and it is the first time that the government has requested self-restraint to travel worldwide, regardless of country or region.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says that even in countries and regions where the infection has not spread, there is a risk that it may be impossible to leave the country due to restrictions on local activities or suspension of international flights.
