TOKYO: Japan on Thursday eased its travel warning for 36 countries and areas, including Thailand, the United States, Britain, Canada and Hong Kong, over the Covid-19 pandemic, no longer asking Japanese citizens to avoid non-essential trips to the areas.
The Foreign Ministry lowered its travel advisories for those countries, which also include Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia, from the third-highest Level 2 on its four-point scale to Level 1, which advises Japanese nationals travelling to those regions to "stay fully alert."
