England simplifies COVID-19 travel rules

its only Japanese residents who are spreading COVID, the fears held over Olympic participation have been proven to be wrong, for goodness sake, open the border, let people arrive and let life start again.

The biggest problem I have is why arriving passengers from abroad aren't allowed to use public transport to get home from the airport. These people have been tested multiple times, unlike commuters. These private limousine services must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Fantastic news! And also a well deserved kick in the pants for the anti-vaccine cultists...

Yes, exceedingly good news.

Japan is in danger of losing all foreign tourism

That's as ridiculous a comment as has been said recently on this site. You are clearly unaware of the popularity of Japan around the world.

Once we (humanity) learn to deal with covid, Japan will continue to be one of the top desired travel destinations in the world.

Japan is in danger of losing all foreign tourism, people want to take a holiday, Japan has had a great advertising campaign with the Olympics and should now capitalise, but because old men run the country, nothing happens, the economy will fall, people will go elsewhere, shops will close, debt will increase, the system will become overburdened, then people will ask where did it go wrong.

The world, including Japan has to live with COVID, right now, its only Japanese residents who are spreading COVID, the fears held over Olympic participation have been proven to be wrong, for goodness sake, open the border, let people arrive and let life start again.

Already the bars are ignoring the government, this is the start of social collapse....Japanese style.

They are also now accepting Japan's Covid vaccine certificates and people vaccinated in Japan no longer need to have a pcr test before travel to the UK.. Awesome!

Those non vaccinated will need to have a PCR test before, on arrival and quarantine for 10 days with tests on day two and six at their expense.... Your freedom ...your money!

@Luddite

Give Japan another year or two- many meetings later.....

If only Japan would reciprocate.

And they will keep hiding the patients who get infected even with two vaccines they got.

Fantastic news! And also a well deserved kick in the pants for the anti-vaccine cultists...
