The first group to enter Japan for a familiarization trip has been allowed by Taiwan.
Visitors are not interacting with locals on these tours. The spread of Covid-19 is a problem on the island.
The 25-member group arrived on two flights and took COVID-19 PCR tests upon arrival at Taoyuan International Airport before leaving for the hotel they would stay to wait for test results.
Under a special entry program, the group was exempted from the current “3+4” quarantine rules that require arrivals to spend three days in quarantine followed by four days of self-initiated epidemic prevention during which they can go out if they take a rapid antigen test every two days that is negative.
According to the transportation ministry, in accordance with Taiwan’s COVID-19 epidemic prevention plan, the tour group will not come into contact with members of the general public during their visit and several scenic spots will be pre-booked for them ahead of their arrival.
There is a note.
Although most of the cases are domestically-transmitted, with only a small number being imported — involving overseas arrivals — there are still worries from the government that an influx of tourists could drive up case numbers.
It was the conclusion.
It's not clear what's going on with Taiwan, the first thing that came to mind was reopening the border. Four days of self-monitoring are required for people entering the country.
There is no requirement for testing for transit passengers.
