Posted in: Japan extends entry ban on non-resident foreigners until end of February: Kishida See in context
I’m currently in the quarantine hotel in Narita and I must say that this is exactly what I feel prison would feel like. The rooms are small and very dry. The beds are hard as a rock and difficult to sleep pain free. Thankfully the food is somewhat ok, but we are not allowed anything but the food and water provided. They tell us to use Amazon to order items that can be delivered but Amazon does not deliver to us. We have microphones in our rooms for them to make announcements. The GPS systems they install on our phones is a little invasive if you ask me especially with them forcing us to do video calls x times a day to prove we are where we are. The process from getting from Narita Airport to the hotel that is 4 minutes away took 8 hours totaling a 30+ hour travel day. Everyone on our flight tested negative upon entry to the country and everyone arriving lives in the country. I don’t see why we can’t quarantine in our own homes considering we are all vaccinated, we all have proof of negative results, and tested negative upon entry to the country. Again, feels like prison.
