Re: [116attendees] You need THREE items to enter Japan

[Quynh Dang <[e-mail]>]

Hi Ole,

Is that required for everyone including people from the US ?

Now, I am confused and don't know what are/is required for my trip to IETF
116 now.  I thought I was just going to show my covid card with 4 shots.

I remembered I read somewhere  in the past that some people were required
to take a covid test AFTER arrival. I thought that requirement had been
removed. But now I don't know if it is still true or not.

Thank you,
Quynh.
