The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is planning to reduce the "level 2" "danger information" that has requested the entire world to refrain from traveling unnecessarily due to the spread of the new coronavirus, in light of overseas trends. I started to consider it.

"Danger information" is information issued to countries and regions that require special attention when traveling or staying in consideration of the security situation overseas.



In March, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs raised the "danger information" to level 2 for the entire world in light of the situation where going out is restricted in each country in response to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, and it is unnecessary. I was asking for a sudden refrain from traveling.



Under these circumstances, the government has begun to relax restrictions on going out in overseas countries and cities, and it is becoming less likely that Japanese people will be restricted in their actions or will not be able to return home. We have begun to consider lowering the "danger information" and returning it to the "level 1" that requires sufficient attention and the state where the "danger information" is not issued.



In addition to the "danger information", the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also issued "infectious disease risk information" that considers the risk of infection, etc., and is nearing "level 3" "travel suspension recommendation" for some countries and regions. We are preparing an environment for resuming traffic to and from overseas, such as by reducing the number of people to "Level 2" to "Restriction from unnecessary and unurgent travel."
