Japan lifts advisories on domestic travel, while Tokyo fully reopens for business

TOKYO - Japan on Friday lifted its coronavirus domestic travel advisories that had urged people not to move across prefecture borders, in the hope that domestic tourism will fire up a moribund economy.

It will initially accept up to 250 people daily, from countries with low infection risks such as Vietnam and Thailand. There were 238 cases altogether in the past week, many of them traced to clusters in clubs at nightlife entertainment districts that had defied official requests to shut temporarily.Fukushima in the north-east recorded on Friday its first case in 41 days: a Fukushima University student, who is suspected to have been infected by a friend who visited from Tokyo, despite government requests not to travel beyond prefecture borders.

Japan has been grappling with the question of when, and how, to ease its Covid-19 measures, even after a nationwide state of emergency was ended in late May.
