Japan may scrap COVID-19 testing for Chinese arrivals

Japan is planning to scrap a negative coronavirus test requirement for arrivals from China due to a low rate of positive results during sample testing at airports, according to a government source.

Under the new rules, possibly going into effect from early April, travelers from mainland China will no longer have to show proof of a negative coronavirus test taken 72 hours or less before departure, as long as they have had at least three doses of a COVID- 19 vaccine, the source said.

At the end of last year, the Japanese government implemented blanket COVID- 19 testing for all arrivals from mainland China, applying to those who had visited the country within the previous seven days.
