In order to contain the spread of novel coronavirus pneumonia / COVID-19 / covid, the Japanese government on 13 February 2020 amended the relevant administrative decree. Starting 14 February 2020, all passengers arriving at Japanese airports or ports will be barred from entering the country as long as one person is diagnosed with covid.
According to reports, the "Diamond Princess" cruise ship was moored in the sea area of Yokohama Port in Japan due to the covid cluster infection, and passengers on board were required to stay in their respective rooms. However, Japan had no clear legal basis in the past.
According to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Japan ’s Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare Kato said on 13 February that for patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia and suspected infections, “quarantine” and “detention” measures under the quarantine law will be adopted. Amendments to relevant executive orders are expected to be passed in a cabinet meeting on 14 February 2020.
According to Kyodo News Agency, from 14 February, tourists who are suspected of being infected with the novel coronavirus (covi) at the airports or ports will be sent directly to hospitals. As long as there is a confirmed case on the plane or ship, all passengers will not be allowed to enter Japan. They must wait for the results of the examinations at the hospitals.
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has also amended the administrative order of the Infectious Diseases Act to prevent the spread of the covid epidemic to include patients diagnosed of covid even if there are no symptoms of fever and cough.
The All Japan News Network (ANN) reported that although covid has been classified as a "designated infectious disease" in accordance with the Japanese Infectious Diseases Act, it can only force symptomatic patients to stay in hospitals, restrict work, and cover medical costs at public expense.
Japanese citizens returning to Japan on chartered flights from Wuhan have been diagnosed with covid but have no symptoms. So hospitalization measures and medical expenses for asymptomatic patients can be borne by the government.
