Katsunobu Kato said at a press conference, "Starting October 1, those who return to the country with a valid vaccination certificate will be exempt from staying in quarantine for the remaining four days if they test negative for the coronavirus on the tenth day of quarantine." The official added that those arriving from high-risk regions requiring only three days of quarantine will longer have to undergo it.
