Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Wednesday that the government will relax its border control measures against the novel coronavirus, raising the daily limit on entries to 50,000 people from Sept. 7. During a morning press conference at the Prime Minister's Office, Kishida also apologized for the Liberal Democratic Party's relationship with the religious group widely known as the Unification Church.
"As president of the LDP, I frankly express my apology," he said.
