For 11 countries with preferential business traffic (exemption from quarantine, etc.), it has been decided to completely restrict foreigners from entering Japan from January 14th until the cancellation of the state of emergency.

(* It seems that foreigners who have “special circumstances” such as funerals and childbirth of relatives will continue to be allowed to enter the country.)

However, it seems that the following two will continue to be recognized, so I can’t say how effective they are.

・Return of Japanese

・Re-entry of foreigners with a status of residence

And the border measures have been strengthened a little and changed as follows.

・Pledges such as 14 days of isolation at home or accommodation when entering Japan, no use of public transportation for 14 days, storage of location information, etc.

・ In case of violation, name will be announced, status of residence will be canceled, and deportation will be considered.

・In case of violation, it may be kept in the accommodation facility prepared by the quarantine station.

It may be a good way to monitor location information for 14 days only.

(If the system can be operated properly …)

By the way…

Regarding the delivery service that you’re worried about …

Yamato Transport, Sagawa Express, and Japan Post will handle the delivery as usual!

Thank you courier!!!

↓

The government said at a press conference that “schools do not request school closures!”, but…

 in order to reduce contact between students, it is said that the number of students who go to school in a day will be reduced to two-thirds!

※* Tokyo is planning to request the last train to be advanced, but there is no noticeable movement yet …

As you probably already know, it has been decided that not only 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama) but also Kansai and Tokai will include a state of emergency!

Initially, only the Kansai 3 areas (Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo) were planned to be added, but the Tokai 2 areas (Gifu, Aichi), the Kanto 1 area (Tochigi), and Fukuoka are now included!

(Source: NHK * Partially changed)

The contents are the same as in 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures, and are as follows.

・Until February 7th

・Request to shorten restaurant business hours until 8:00 pm

・70% reduction in the number of employees attending work by teleworking

・Refrain from going out unnecessarily after 8:00 pm

・Limited number of people for the event

However, since the 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures where the state of emergency has already been declared are in such a situation (many people, especially young people, are not refraining from acting), it is unclear how meaningful it is …!

I think the Diet will start discussing penalties around next week, so I’m looking forward to it …
