The government is considering easing border measures for the novel coronavirus targeting China, considering the fact that the rate of confirmed infections in inspections at the time of entry into the country is declining.
In response to the spread of the new corona infection in China, the government has continued temporary border measures since December last year, and is currently requesting all people entering the country from mainland China to submit negative certificates. PCR tests are conducted at the time of entry.
The government is considering easing the number of infections, considering that the rate of infections confirmed in inspections at the time of entry is declining and that the infection situation in China is believed to be calming down.
Specifically, discussions are underway on plans to discontinue measures requiring the submission of negative proof, and plans to limit the subjects of inspections upon entering the country.
However, it has been pointed out that the infection status data released by China lacks transparency, so the government will continue to carefully monitor the infection trend in China and consider it.
