Japan's government plans to shorten Covid-19 quarantine periods for inbound business travellers from 10 days to three, public broadcaster NHK reported.

The easing may be instituted as early as next Monday, NHK said. Additionally, the government plans to expand the number of daily border entrants from 3,500 people to 5,000 later this month.

Japan currently requires a 10-day quarantine for travellers, regardless of vaccination status. That time was shortened from 14 days last month.
