Vaccinated Passengers Will No Longer Need Proof of Negative COVID Test When Traveling to Japan

Another country has finally gained some common sense in regards to COVID testing. Really they should do away with the COVID test for non-vaccinated travelers as well at some point since the vaccine does not prevent you from catching COVID:

Japan plans to drop its requirement that arriving, vaccinated international travelers show proof of a negative COVID-19 test, even as the country is posting record-high levels of the respiratory disease. 

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at an online news conference Wednesday said Japan will end the requirement next month. 

“From Sept. 7, those entering Japan can use proof that they have been vaccinated three times in exchange for proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of departure,” he said. 

Kishida is recovering from COVID-19 himself.
