China News Service, November 29. According to a report from Kyodo News on the 29th, in view of the spread of the new crown virus "Omi Keron" strain, the Japanese government on the 29th has implemented a substantial relaxation for foreign business-related persons, international students, and technical intern trainees. The restrictions on entry into the country have been suspended.
Japan's National Institute of Infectious Diseases listed the Omi Keron strain as a "mutated strain that requires vigilance" on the 28th, raising it to the highest level of vigilance.
Previously, it was the second-highest "mutant strain that needs attention."
In order to grasp the domestic epidemic situation, the institute will carry out the analysis of the virus genome, and will launch a special PCR test that can quickly find suspected cases in the near future.
In view of this increase, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan sent a notice to local governments requesting that as many test samples as possible be analyzed for viral genomes, so as to investigate whether people who test positive are infected with the Omi Keron strain.
Especially for those who are tested positive within 14 days after entry, they are required to quickly perform genome analysis.
