Japan currently requires negative PCR test results within 72 hours of departure for all entrants.
People wearing face masks are seen at an arrival lobby of Haneda airport in Tokyo on Aug. 23, 2022, amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Kishida, after holding virtual meetings with government ministers and medical advisors earlier Wednesday, told reporters in an online news conference that entrants who have received at least one booster vaccine can waive the pre-entry test beginning Sept. 7. Kishida said his government also plans to increase the daily cap for incoming travelers, currently set at 20,000,"as soon as possible." Media reports say the government is considering more than doubling the daily cap to 50,000 as early as next month.
Kishida said Japan plans to shorten the self-isolation period for COVID-19 patients from the current 10 days for those with symptoms and one week for those without symptoms. Officials are finalizing those details, he said.
