China News Service, October 4th. According to the "Central News Agency" report, on the 3rd local time, a number of Japanese government officials revealed that in order to cooperate with the Tokyo Olympics, which will be postponed to the summer of 2021, the Japanese government has begun formal discussions on "conditions "The entry of foreign tourists will be opened, and the trial will start as early as the spring of 2021.
Data map: On August 6, local time, the giant Olympic rings in Odaiba Seaside Park, Tokyo, Japan were temporarily dismantled and returned to the factory for maintenance.
According to reports, affected by the new crown epidemic, the Japanese government has banned people from 159 countries or regions from entering.
Although the ban is gradually lifted for some business people, if the entry of foreign tourists is reopened, it will be a major change in Japan's border control policy.
Currently, the Japanese government is conducting specific research on countermeasures for the entry and exit of foreign tourists during the Tokyo Olympics.
When foreign tourists apply for a Japanese visa in their respective countries, the Japanese government may require downloading a special health management app.
Before leaving their respective countries, foreign tourists must first obtain a certificate of negative test for the new crown virus. They must also purchase private medical insurance for entering Japan if they are unfortunately infected with the epidemic.
After the above measures are completed, as long as the new crown virus test when entering Japan is confirmed to be negative, you can go to the Tokyo Olympic Games venue to watch.
At present, Japan tends to allow foreign tourists who meet the requirements to enter the country without being isolated for 14 days in hotels and other places. However, within 14 days after entering Japan, they must report their health conditions through a dedicated APP.
At present, in order to deal with the health management of foreign tourists after entering the country, the Japanese government tends to set up dedicated "fever health consultation and assistance centers" to avoid affecting the medical capabilities of health centers in various regions.
In addition, the Japanese government will pay attention to the development of the epidemic at home and abroad, and it is expected to prepare a response plan in January 2021 and reopen the entry of foreign tourists on a trial basis in April of the same year.
This measure may continue after the end of the Tokyo Olympics, hoping to help Japan respond to the needs of foreign tourists.
However, how to truly lift the ban on foreign tourists remains to be resolved. For example, how many foreign tourists should be allowed to enter is still to be discussed. A person from the Japanese government said, "We must pay attention to the development of the global epidemic in the future."
As for the countries or regions that Japan grants visa-free treatment, how to enable these foreign tourists to complete the APP download, do a good job of inspection before leaving the country, and the extent of the scope of activities after entry will be one of the focus of future discussions.
