The situation of the epidemic situation is severe, but the Japanese government is gradually relaxing the epidemic prevention policy. The results of the test results of the new crown virus, Kishida, who is positive, announced on the 24th that local governments can judge independently and only report the information of patients with high risk of severe illness. At the same time, the Japanese government will relax entry restrictions. Beginning on September 7, the entryrs who provided a three -needle new crown pneumonia vaccine do not need to provide negative proof of new crown detection. Passengers who currently enter Japan must submit nucleic acid test negative certificates within 72 hours before the departure. According to the "Yomiuri Shimbun" reported on the 25th, the Japanese government also plans to increase the upper limit of the number of entry in the country from 20,000 to 50,000 from mid -September to attract more overseas tourists.

The severe epidemic situation has caused a lot of pressure on the Japanese medical system. According to the Kyoto News, many Japanese hospitals have issued a joint statement a few days ago, saying that the current new crown pneumonia's epidemic has reached the "disaster level." Medical resources in many places in Japan are tight and cannot be treated with many infections that need to be hospitalized, and sometimes other patients' surgery has to be postponed. At the same time, there are many people infected in the medical system. Infectious disease experts and visiting professors in Showa University in Japan said in an interview with the Japanese current Affairs News Agency on the 25th that "the detailed information of the infected person has become a burden on medical institutions, and it is necessary to reduce the burden on medical institutions." A poll released by Daily News on the 21st shows that 57%of the reasons for the tight medical resources in Japan believe that "there is a problem with government response measures."

In addition, some views believe that in the context of rising prices, if the Kishida government cannot effectively curb the epidemic, it will further lower its support rate.
