Japanese media quoted Government sources, saying the decision has been made following these countries and territories effectively bringing the COVID-19 pandemic under control, or at the very least having a low number of new cases.
Vietnam resumed its commercial flight route to Japan on September 19 following a prolonged suspension of traveling caused by the spread of COVID-19. The majority of passengers on board the flight were students and Vietnamese guest workers, along with several Japanese nationals.
