TOKYO -- The Japanese government may ease the entry restrictions for foreign travelers which was put in place to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus, beginning in October, although the plan would exclude tourists.
Currently, people from 159 countries and regions are denied entry into Japan, but the government is mulling the idea of permitting 1,000 foreigners into the country per day, mainly to accommodate those who intend to stay for three months or longer. (Japan-Entry restrictions-Ease)
