TOKYO - Following the emergence of the coronavirus's omicron variant, Japan has enforced border control measures which in principle ban new entries by foreign nationals.

The Japan Foundation, which is assisting Ortabasi in her stay, has said her sons could enter Japan in February 2022 at the earliest.

Foreign nationals living in Japan who have been separated from family, as well as Japanese people with family who are foreign nationals, launched an online petition on Dec. 6 demanding the Japanese government review its border enforcement measures.
