A passenger arrives from overseas at the arrival hall of Haneda international airport in Tokyo, Monday, Nov. 8, 2021. TOKYO — Japan reported no daily deaths from COVID-19 on Sunday for the first time in 15 months, as infections decline rapidly in the country.
Japan on Monday also eased entry restrictions for foreign students, workers and short-term business travelers who are fully vaccinated, have their activity plans guaranteed by sponsors and observe 10 days of self-isolation.
