Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi announced that Japan is lowering its infection risk advisory level for Taiwan from level 3 to level 2. Level 2 is an advisory that Japanese citizens should avoid non-essential travel to designated areas, while level 3 is an outright travel ban.
The move comes as Japan attempts to reinvigorate its economy.
Japan has also lowered its risk level designations for Thailand, Singapore, New Zealand, Brunei, Vietnam, China, South Korea, and Australia.
