Japan will impose entry restrictions on travelers from the
United States, including Japanese, after increasing the warning
level for the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Entrants from all areas of the United States, including
Japanese nationals, will be asked to stay at a location designated
by the head of a quarantine station and not to use public
transportation in Japan for 14 days," Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe said at an Upper House Budget Committee meeting on March
23.
The restrictions will be enforced on the entrants who arrive in
Japan via planes and vessels that have departed on and after
midnight of March 25. The policy will continue until the end of
April and may be extended.
