Information Centers that can help Foreigners in Japan
Sa panahon ng coronavirus pandemic, gumawa ng iba’t ibang paraan ang gobyerno upang maging
mas madali para sa kanila na maipaliwanag sa tao kung anong gagawin sa ganitong panahon at kung
sino at saan sila pupunta. Nag-issue ng babala ang Ministry of Justice sa pamamagitan ng
Immigration Services, ang pagbabawal na makapasok ang mga foreign nationals sa bansang Japan.
Ito ay tinawag na Notice on Denial of Landing para sa foreign nationals mula sa mga bansang nasa
ilalim ng Article 5 paragraph (1), item (xiv) ng Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act,
maliban lang kung ang sitwasyon ay exceptional. Ang layon nito ay upang mas maiwasan pa ang
posibleng pagpasok o pagkalat ng virus sa bansang Japan. Ang foreign countries na binigyan ng Notice on Denial Landing ay ang sumusunod:
Ang foreigners na nag-stay ng 14 na araw sa mga lugar kung saan maraming kaso ng coronavirus at papasok sa bansang Japan ay mahigpit na pinagbabawalan. Ito ay ang mga sumusunod;
• Republic of Iceland, Ireland, Principality of Andorra, Italian Republic, Islamic Republic of Iran, Republic of Estonia, Republic of Austria, Kingdom of the Netherlands, Republic of San Marino, Swiss Confederation, Kingdom of Sweden, Kingdom of Spain, Republic of Slovenia, Kingdom of Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany, Kingdom of Norway, Vatican, French Republic, Kingdom of Belgium, Portuguese Republic, Republic of Malta, Principality of Monaco, Principality of Liechtenstein, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
• People’s Republic of China: foreigners na bumisita sa Hubei Province, Zhejiang Province
• Republic of Korea: foreigners na bumisita sa Daegu-guangyeok-si, o Cheondo-gun, Gyeongsan-si, Andong-si, Yeongcheon-si, Chilgok-gun, Uiseong-gun, Seongju-gun, Gunwi-

• Foreigners na nagtataglay ng Chinese passports na inissue mula sa Hubei Province o Zhejiang Province sa People’s Republic of China.
• Foreigners na galing sa cruise ship, Westerdam, na galing sa Hong Kong
At kamakailan lamang, ang Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Fire and Disaster
Management Agency, at ang Japan Meteorological Agency ay pinalawak pa ang multilingual dictionaries para sa disaster prevention at weather information sa 14 languages para sa mga foreign nationals na nasa Japan. Nagbibigay din sila ng iba’t ibang links na may impormasyon sa panahon ng disaster, communication cards para makakuha ng impormasyon mula sa tao at ang response flow chart na nagpapakita kung paano mag-evacuate depende sa sitwasyon at paligid. Ipinahayag din ng Japan Tourism Agency na ang apps na ito ay libre. Mag-download lang ng apps at makakatanggap ka na ng information na galing sa iba’t ibang ahensiya ng gobyerno.
