Various COVID-19 countermeasures were taken at Japan border control policy, especially, the return mission of Japanese nationals from Wuhan and the response to the Diamond Princess are considered to be cases that have stood out worldwide attention.

The results of measures will be reported in this study.

Conclusion:
