Japan is planning to shorten the COVID-19 quarantine period for vaccinated businesspeople from overseas

upon their arrival in the country to three days, possibly from next week, government officials said Tuesday.

Currently, travelers inoculated with approved vaccines are required to undergo a 10-day quarantine period upon entering the country, while a 14-day quarantine period applies to other arrivals. Those inoculated with the COVID-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer Inc., Moderna Inc. or AstraZeneca Plc, which have been approved by the government, will be eligible for the shorter quarantine period.

"We will take account of accumulated knowledge concerning the effectiveness of vaccines and border control steps in other nations," Matsuno said.
