The measures will take effect immediately, and will follow the suspension of flights from the six countries decided by Great Britain, in addition to warnings from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The ten days of solitary confinement in Japan, during which people will undergo three checks, will be followed by another 4 days of solitary confinement at home.
Unlike Europe and the United States, in the last month, Japan has registered a progressive decrease in cases of contagion by Covid-19, with a weekly average that remains close to 100 daily positivities, compared to 25,000 infections in August , during the Olympics.
According to recent research by the National Institute of Genetics in Tokyo, the Delta variant would have self-extinguished in the country after several mutations of the virus made it unable to replicate.
The recently concluded study, conducted by specialist physician Ituro Inoue, the virus has accumulated too many mutations in one of its proteins and can no longer be transmitted from one human to another.
So far, Japan has immunized 76.8% of its population of about 126 million people against the coronavirus, the highest level among the G7 nations.
The new global alarm starts from a new variant, potentially more contagious and with multiple mutations, which was detected in South Africa, which faces a new pandemic wave.
The variant called B.1.1.529 has an extremely high number of mutations and has a very high potential for spread.
Mutations of the initial virus can make it more contagious until it becomes dominant. This was the case with the delta variant, initially discovered in India and which, according to the WHO, reduced the effectiveness of vaccines against the transmission of the disease to 40%.
For now, South African scientists do not know if existing vaccines are effective against this new form of the virus.
