The Japanese government on Wednesday lifted its last remaining warnings against nonessential trips abroad over Covid-19 after downgrading its travel advisories for 76 countries and areas, including Australia and Taiwan.

The Foreign Ministry said it lowered the travel advisory for those destinations, also including New Zealand, Mexico and Turkey, from the second-lowest Level 2 on its four-point scale to Level 1, which advises Japanese nationals traveling to those regions to "stay fully alert."
