일본, 모든 국가·지역서 외국인 신규 입국 일시 정지

Japan has decided to ban the entry of almost all non-resident foreigners starting Monday... to stop the COVID-19 variant discovered in the UK.
Japanese media, seven people so far have been found to be infected with this mutation.
One of those was a man who didn't get tested for the virus when entering Japan because he's a pilot,... and after that, he transmitted the virus to his family.
Japan will be suspending the issuance of visas from Monday, but those who already have visas can still come in.
Also, business people and students can still come in... if they're from countries like South Korea and China... with which Japan has made arrangements since the pandemic began.
