TOKYO: Japan plans to extend its ban on foreign entrants to cover those who have recently been to the United States, China and South Korea and most parts of Europe in bid to curb the import and spread of the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, state sources said on Monday (March 30).

The entry ban will be applicable to foreigners who have stayed in the countries within two weeks of arriving in Japan, the sources said, adding that both Japanese and foreigners returning from areas not subjected to the ban will still be asked to self-quarantine for 14 days.

The same advisory will be made for travel to China, South Korea and the majority of Europe, including Britain, the ministry said. Japan reported 1,926 confirmed Covid19 cases as of 6.30pm local time on Monday, with the death toll from the pneumonia-causing virus currently standing at a total of 67 people, including those from the virus-hit Diamond Princess cruise ship that was quarantined in Yokohama, close to Tokyo.
