海外出張後の２週間待機免除　コロナ対策の制限緩和へ―政府

　政府は新型コロナウイルス対策に関する出入国制限に関し、海外出張から帰国した日本人らに対して求めている２週間の待機措置を免除する方向で調整に入った。月内にも決定し、速やかに実施する考えだ。政府関係者が７日、明らかにした。
　免除の対象には、在留資格を持つ外国人が出張を終えて再入国したケースも含める。菅政権は新型コロナ感染拡大防止と社会・経済活動の両立を目指し、世界各国からの新規入国者の受け入れを順次緩和している。海外出張に関する制限措置も緩めることで企業側の負担を減らし、経済活動の再開を加速させたい考えだ。（2020/10/07-23:19）

The government is considering exempting Japanese people returning home after ending overseas business trips from two-week quarantine related to the novel coronavirus pandemic, government officials said Wednesday.
   The exemption will also apply to foreigners with resident status in Japan who arrive back to the country from business trips abroad, the officials said.
   The government plans to make a decision on the move by the end of this month and put it into action soon.
   The administration of Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is gradually easing the country's restrictions on entries from other nations and regions as it seeks to balance measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection with efforts to reactivate economic and social activities.
   The planned easing of the quarantine rule is intended to reduce Japanese companies' burdens and accelerate the reopening of economic activities.
