Japan plans to shorten the quarantine period for Taiwanese travelers to 3 days. The commander of the command center, Chen Shizhong, thanked Japan for its confidence in Taiwan’s epidemic prevention. However, considering that the epidemic situation in Japan is still severe, the number of confirmed cases in Japan in a single day in the past two days is still as high as 80,000, with a maximum of 10 There are as many as 10,000. In the future, we will have to wait for the epidemic situation on both sides to be comparable before we can give reciprocal measures.
The Japanese government plans to gradually relax the border controls implemented due to the epidemic from March, including opening new applications for foreigners other than tourists to apply for entry, raising the daily limit of entry from 3,500 to 5,000, and shortening the entry quarantine period from 7 days to 3 days etc.
Chen Shizhong, commander of the Central Epidemic Epidemic Command Center, said at a press conference on the epidemic this afternoon that Taiwan was included in the list of countries that Japan opened for quarantine for three days. He expressed his gratitude for this and expressed his confidence in Taiwan’s epidemic prevention on behalf of Japan.
As for whether to provide equivalent quarantine measures for inbound travelers from Japan in the future, Chen Shizhong said that the number of confirmed cases in Japan in a single day in the past two days is still as high as 80,000, with a maximum of 100,000. In contrast, the number of confirmed cases in Taiwan is quite small. Continued observation is required, and only when the epidemic situation on both sides is similar can it be possible to take reciprocal measures.
Some experts pointed out that Taiwan’s 18- to 29-year-old group has the highest vaccine coverage and should be given priority to go abroad. Chen Shizhong said that the purpose of vaccination is to protect oneself from severe illness, but there are still many breakthrough infections, which shows that the effect of cutting off the transmission is limited, and it is still necessary to observe whether it can be opened to go abroad.
Another media asked whether the coverage rate of the second and third doses of the vaccine could reach more than 90% between March and May this year. Chen Shizhong said that while the second dose of the vaccine still has protective power, the third dose should reach 50% of the target as soon as possible before mid-March, so that the combination of 2 and 3 doses can bring more than 90% protection.
