The Japanese government announced this weekend that it will be suspending foreign entry into Japan (with certain exceptions) from December 28, 2020 until the end of January 2021. The blanket ban is a precaution against a new and potentially more contagious coronavirus variant that has spread across Britain.   See Mayer Brown’s coverage of the ban on our COVID-19 Blog.
