Travelers entering Japan will no longer be required to present proof of a negative COVID-19 test if they have been vaccinated three times, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Aug. 24.

The government will waive the requirement to take a COVID test within 72 hours of departure for fully vaccinated travelers beginning on Sept. 7, local news agency Kyodo News reported.
