After long months in which Japan managed to cope relatively successfully with the spread of the corona plague and after it seems that the land of the rising sun manages to overcome the second wave as well, Japan is expected to open its gates to foreign nationals as well.

Since the outbreak of the corona, almost no foreign nationals have entered the country's gates, but a report by Japanese Ashi Shimbon reveals that as early as next month the Japanese are expected to allow 1,000 foreigners to enter the country a day.

In the first stage, those who can enter will be only Japanese businessmen, students and residents.

Japanese residents unlike citizens have not been able to enter Japan in recent months, but now according to a report in one of the largest and most respected newspapers in Japan, foreigners will be able to visit again one of the countries that has managed to deal with the virus most successfully in the world.

The conditions of entry into Japan in the first stage will be very strict.

Foreigners entering the country will have to spend two weeks in solitary confinement, undergo a corona test at the entrance to the country and in addition to all will also have to be part of the daily quota of a thousand entrants.

The demand for entry into Japan is very high due to the large number of foreign students, foreign workers and businessmen who worked in the country in the period before the outbreak of the corona plague.

In Japan, about 79,000 have been found to be positive for the corona virus so far, of which about 72,000 have already recovered.

The number of tests in Japan is very low compared to the rest of the world, about 14,000 tests per million citizens.

The population of Japan is about 126 million.

If we compare Japan to Israel, we have found more than 200,000 positive for the corona virus, 54,000 active cases and 347,000 tests per million inhabitants, 25 times more tests than in Japan per million inhabitants.

Japan is not the only Asian country to have closed its gates to foreigners.

Almost all Asian countries including Thailand, China, Vietnam and other countries have decided that they completely exclude the possibility of tourist entry, except in exceptional cases that require special permits.

Now as stated, in Japan are expected to release some of the restrictions.

It is important to note that since the beginning of the corona period, in Japan no closure has been declared even once, the restrictions are tightened and released according to the rate of infection, but as mentioned, without complete closure.
