Authorities in Japan have announced the country will ease its borders only for business travellers from next week, reducing the quarantine requirement to three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Japan.-\u00a0The government of Japan has announced it will relax border controls on business travellers\u00a0from next Monday, shortening the quarantine period from 10 days to three. At the same time, the daily limit on the number of people entering will be raised from 3,500 to 5,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last month,\u00a0Japan shortened the quarantine period for vaccinated visitors <\/strong>from 14 days to 10 days.\u00a0However, according to media reports, that failed to meet the demands of businesses, which are hoping for a vaccine passport system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Other countries like\u00a0Singapore<\/a>\u00a0have launched travel bubbles for fully vaccinated students and business travellers. At the beginning of October,\u00a0authorities in Singapore<\/a>\u00a0had announced\u00a0a shorter 10-day quarantine for travellers\u00a0<\/strong>coming from a list of \u201cCategory 3\u201d countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 10-day quarantine applies for arrivals who have spent their last 14 days in Austria, Bahrain, Bhutan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, Fiji, Greece, Iceland, the Republic of Ireland, Latvia, Liechtenstein, the Maldives, Norway, Slovakia, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom or the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Authorities in Japan have announced the country will ease its borders only for business travellers from next week, reducing the quarantine requirement to three days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":18780,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Japan has announced a relaxation of border controls for business travellers, reducing the quarantine period from 10 to three days and increasing the daily entry limit to 5,000.
