Japan

On Dec 28, Japan suspended entries of non-resident foreign nationals arriving from the majority of the world in a bid to prevent the spread of the new, highly transmissible coronavirus strain.

The entry restrictions will last through the end of January, while Japanese citizens and foreign residents entering Japan from regions where the new strain of the virus has been detected will be required to submit a negative virus test prior to and after arrival in Japan.

Business people and students from a few countries and regions including China and South Korea, however, are exempt from the latest restrictions. Japan and South Korea have a special scheme to ease travel restrictions.

Japan has already banned new entries by non-resident foreign nationals who have recently been to Britain or South Africa.

Cuba

Cuba reported three more deaths and a record 388 new cases of COVID-19, the Ministry of Public Health (Minsap) reported on Sunday.

Authorities are associating the current rebound in cases in the country with the entry of travelers from abroad during the end-of-year holidays. The situation has forced the government to adopt new restriction measures in several provinces.

Starting on Sunday, travelers arriving from abroad will be required to submit a health declaration and a PCR test carried out no more than 72 hours before flying.

Philippines

The Philippines shuts its borders to foreigners arriving from 20 countries and territories in a bid to prevent a new strain of coronavirus entering the nation

The ban on travelers from places including Australia, France, Japan and Hong Kong comes as the archipelago braces for a post-Christmas surge in the virus that has infected nearly half a million people.

The country has closed the borders to Britain in recent weeks and later announced to extend the ban to Jan 15.

News about flights

China will continue to suspend passenger flights from the United Kingdom, effective Monday, according to a news release by China’s Civil Aviation Administration on Sunday afternoon.
