Original title: it is difficult to understand who's approval of Japan's closure measures: the virus does not depend on nationality
According to Japan's Sankei Shimbun on the 2nd, Ryan, head of the WHO health emergency project, said on the 1st that due to the rapid spread of the Omicron virus strain around the world, Japan began to implement the measure of suspending the entry of foreigners in principle, which was "difficult to understand from the perspective of epidemiology". He criticized that "the virus does not depend on nationality or detention permit". Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida previously announced that in principle, new arrivals of foreigners would be stopped. New entry of foreigners refers to the return of foreigners newly applying for entry, Japanese and their spouses, and foreigners eligible to stay in Japan to Japan. The Japanese government also asked airlines to suspend all international flights to Japan for one month until the end of December. Who also holds a negative attitude towards this, saying that the ban on all international flights "can not prevent the spread of the global epidemic, but also cause a great burden on people's lives".
