Japan restricts foreigners amid coronavirus
On Friday, the Japanese government announced that it will temporarily restrict foreigners who have visited Hubei Province, Central China, from entering the country. The step was taken to prevent further outbreak of the novel coronavirus. The restriction went into effect on Saturday.The restriction includes foreigners who have stayed in Hubei Province within two weeks before they arrive in Japan, even if they do not show any pneumonia symptoms. It was revealed that some of them who was tested positive for the virus did not show any symptom as well.
Holders of Chinese passport issued in Hubei will also be restricted from entering Japan.
The Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, said that the policy will be applied only for the time being, amid the outbreak of novel coronavirus from Wuhan, coded 2019-nCoV. The Japanese government plans to send the fourth chartered flight to Wuhan next week to evacuate the last batch of Japanese nationals in Wuhan.
Initially, the government wanted the returnees to pay 80,000 yen each. Nonetheless, it reversed its demand and decided to shoulder the cost instead.
Furthermore, Japan’s Foreign Ministry had raised its travel advisory for China to level 2, restricting any “nonessential” trip to China. Especially, after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the global emergency status on Thursday. For Hubei Province, Japan raised the travel advisory to its highest level, level 3, meaning that no travel is permitted.
Previously, the Japanese government was criticized slacking in preventing the outbreak from spreading in Japan while other infected countries have done their best. Abe defended the government, saying that the government has been struggling as well, by legal constraints and considerations for human rights.
Currently, Japan had evacuated 565 Japanese nationals out of Wuhan, ground zero of the outbreak. They were required to take a voluntary test to screen the coronavirus and stay in government-provided lodging for two weeks regardless they show any symptoms or not.
Two of the returnees refused to take the voluntary test, something Abe regretted. Nonetheless, since it was voluntary, the government could not force them to partake in it in the name of human rights. Fortunately, the two agreed to run the test later on.
The criticism against the lax government did not only come from the Japanese people and the opposition but also from Abe’s own Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
