Tokyo, Aug 22, 2020, SPA -- Japan has decided to ease entry restrictions for foreign students, imposed to curb the novel coronavirus, possibly within this month, Kyodo quoted government sources as saying today, on Saturday. Japan also plans to fully lift the re-entry ban on foreign nationals who hold resident status as early as next month, according to the sources. The restrictions for foreign students will first be eased for those sponsored by the Japanese government and the relaxation is expected to be later expanded to self-supporting international students. --SPA 00:16 LOCAL TIME 21:16 GMT 0022 www.spa.gov.sa/w1396206
