Let's go to Tokyo, Japan.
Now, Correspondent Yoo Seong-jae, the number of corona infections in Japan is also increasing little by little.
Foreigner entry ban, how long will it last?
<Reporter>
Yes, since the beginning of last month, Japan has locked the door tightly to prevent the inflow of micron mutations.
All new visa issuance for foreigners has been suspended and those arriving from countries with reported Omicron infection are quarantined in facilities for up to 10 days.
The problem is that local infection of omicron mutations is slowly rising.
In the past month, over 500 cases of Omicron have been confirmed in Japan, of which 140 are believed to have been infected in Japan.
There are also reports of Omicron confirmed cases of unknown infection route.
Even in this situation, it is pointed out that continuing the ban on entry for foreigners is a waste of administrative power.
