The Japanese government has announced that effective vaccination history and a negative pre-departure test will be abolished after midnight on April 29 with regard to water border control measures at the time of entry into Japan.
In light of the transfer of new-type coronavirus infection to Category 5, the current waterfront measures of “a negative certificate of a test taken within 72 hours before departure” and “vaccination certificates (3 times)” will no longer be required for all persons entering Japan who arrive after the same time.
For those with symptoms of suspected infection, testing upon entry into Japan will continue until midnight on May 8. If the test result is positive, the patient will be required to receive medical treatment at a designated facility.
After this time, instead of the termination of waterfront measures, infectious disease genomic surveillance will be initiated to monitor the influx of new infectious diseases.
