Kyodo News reported that the Japanese government today (26th) announced that new foreigners from all countries and regions will be temporarily suspended from the day after tomorrow (28th) until the end of January next year.
It seems that it is because a strain of Corona 19, which is known to have strong spreading power, has been introduced into Japan while the corona 19 is spreading around the world.
Earlier, Japanese private broadcaster Nihon TV reported that the Japanese government is coordinating such a plan, explaining the background that it is because of the spread of a variant infection.
It is known that the Japanese government is also in the direction of not admitting self-isolation easing measures, which exempt Japanese or foreigners residing in Japan from ``two weeks waiting'' if certain conditions are met when returning home after a short overseas business trip.
