Travelers From 38 Countries To Self - Quarantine
The Japanese government has decided that arriving travelers from most European countries, Iran and Egypt will be asked to self-quarantine for two weeks, starting on Saturday.
The decision was made at a cabinet meeting on Thursday to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
The government says people arriving from the 38 countries, including all 27 EU member nations, will be asked to self-quarantine for two weeks at designated locations such as homes and hotels.
They will also be asked to refrain from using public transport.
The new measure will remain in effect through the end of April.
