Calls are mounting for the easing of the government's pandemic-related border control measures from the business community, which claims long quarantine periods and strict measures that go beyond those imposed in other major economies are affecting their operations.
Japan Business Federation Chairman Masakazu Tokura expressed doubts about the government's measures at a press conference Monday. "Japan is now sealed off to the outside world. I think there is no point in continuing the measures. I would like the government to review them promptly," Tokura said.
