The move comes after Beijing announced that inbound travellers will no longer be required to quarantine on arrival from January 8 after three years of strict pandemic control. Travellers from mainland China, or who have been there within seven days, will be required to test on arrival in Japan from Friday, Kishida said.Tokyo will also cap flights coming from mainland China, Kishida said.
